When viewed in a global context, US oil exploration, production and consumption is turning planet Earth into a toxic-waste dump.

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

"As the worst oil spill in American history grows into a national environmental disaster, Big Oil's 21-year hoax is finally revealed: Nothing has changed since Exxon Valdez. For 21 years, we've listened to their broken record repeating that familiar tune: 'Offshore drilling is safe, we swear!'
But it's not safe, is it?
With the seabed still gushing gallons per minute, their next drilling venture is about to begin. The first drill ship will soon set sail to America's Arctic where drilling will commence amid swells and sea-ice in less than 50 days – unless we stop them first!"
Ken Salazar, Obama's chosen man to run the Dept of the Interior, & who's currently being questioned by Congress, is allowing oil drilling in the Arctic ocean where there is no possibility of stopping an offshore oil spill if an accident does occur.
I a recent documentary it was stated that some 20,000 species have come and gone. What manes hono sapiens conclude that they will not be next. enjoy what life you have. No other species worries about legacy. That is ego-centric thinking.
