Quote by: Isherwood I concur with both Mr. Jaggers and Rave7pt0 on this. Their power and influence in our society is a real concern. The oil companies pose a threat to both our quality of life and our government (through their influence). Our need is our weakness.
Isn't it telling that while the cigarette companies were forced to put warnings on their products and provide stop-smoking campaigns, big oil has never been forced to put some of their obscene profits back into research for sustainable alternatives to oil? |
Due to smog produced by oil burning vehicles the L.A. city (So. California) has reached toxic levels of smog - above the pre-Bush standards set by the Federal government. Toxic fumes known by the State of California to cause cancer and other health problems.
So I think that the city should put up gaint billboards at every entrance highway into the city that reads "warning, breathing the air might be hazardous to your health". And the oil industry would be billed for the bill board signs.
How about that?
