I Like Oil, You Like Oil, We Are The Friends Of Oil

Far be it from me to find fault with the Oil Industry. I mean, let's face it, Fossil Fuels are the elixirs of life. They are what made the internal combustion engine possible. They power our world. From the electric toothbrush you use after each meal, to the TV reality show you watch constantly to the SUV you drive to the store down the street, to the movie, to work, to the flight you take on your vacation to the City of Lights or the City of Sin or wherever you go. Yes children, fossil fuels are what our world is all about. And the best part is that it is an unending supply of energy. There's enough coal to pollute, I mean power our electric grid far into the future, and there's enough oil to supply our wander-lust as far, as well. And if supplies are interrupted there's always natural gas, anxiously waiting in the wings. But here's the best part. Fossil fuels are safe. There's never a fear of a mishap. Right? I mean, the single most feared word in the English language is "oops". You won't hear that kind if word bandied around the oil fields, or in coal mines or at gas drilling sites. Not in this day and age, no sirree. Ya know, if there were as many oops' used at a nuclear reactor as there is in any and all of the fossil fuel industry, we'd never have even discovered the atom.
