"When the harvest is good we hear about how low prices will be bad for the farmers; however, when the harvest is bad we hear how the consumers will suffer from high prices."  -Bjorn Lomborg

Joe Biden has killed the Keystone Pipeline, apparently, an action which will kill people.  Which made me wonder:  Why has nobody become the poster child for oil pipelines?  Why aren't the relatives of the deceased from roadway and railway accidents carrying posters of them to Washington to protest Biden?

Fraser Institute:  "Oil pipeline outperforms rail and road by a wide margin... Rail causes nearly 40 times that many injuries requiring hospitalization on a per-ton-mile basis... Road is the worst performer on this measure, averaging one serious injury per billion ton-miles. This is 145 times the oil pipeline rate."

"The environmentalists staked their bets on chromium, copper, nickel, tin, and tungsten, and they picked a time frame of ten years.  The bet was to be determined ten years later, assessing whether the real prices had gone up or down.  In September 1990 not only had the total basket of raw materials but also each individual raw material dropped in price.  Chromium had dropped 5 percent, tin a whopping 74 percent.  The doomsayers had lost."

"You know, doing what is right is easy. The problem is knowing what is right."

"It lay broken in half, and he looked into its trunk as into the mouth of a black tunnel.  The trunk was only an empty shell; its heart had rotted away long ago; there was nothing inside--just a thin gray dust that was being dispersed by the whim of the faintest wind.  The living power had gone, and the shape it left had not been able to stand without it."  -Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

The Capitol riot should have been a wake-up call for both the left and the right. 

For the right:  Wow… the right does riot.

For the left:  Wow… riots are awful.

I'm not sure the country can survive if the right acts like the left.  It reminds me of parents who are fed up with their teen so decide to act like him.

The woman who was killed shouldn't have charged the Capitol.  She shouldn't have trespassed.  I do not support the officer being charged.
