We have 'Oil' on our hands

(Photos: Greenpeace USA 2010, Flickr)
* Why do we continue putting in orders for 'Oil' when we can see all too clearly the devastation that our addiction has wreaked?

* What will it take to persuade Australian governments to quit this obsessive committment to 'Oil'?

* Why are we contemplating drastic road building projects just so motorists can enjoy short term speedy travel into the city?

* Why don't we remember that earlier 'drastic road building projects' never lasted, and always ended in tears with a huge debt for the taxpayer?

* Why aren't we concerned about 'sustainable development' & 'intergenerational equity'?

* What exactly is going to be left for our children?

* Why do we have to listen to the 'Oil-lovers' rubbish Clover Moore & her insightful urban transport initiatives?

* When are we going to repeal mandatory bicycle helmet laws?

  1. 60000 barrels of oil per day is a wopping lot of oil.check out ifitwasmyhome.com to see how this spill would look in your neck of the woods. In my NOTW it would cover the whole of Port Philip bay plus a good chunk of Victoria.And still we harrass people into wearing a little piece of (oil based)foam and plastic on thier head.~ian
