NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!
I am always amused when people say that. They do not realize that everyday brave people die bringing us the many things we need to live, mining and oil production being among some of the most dangerous professions.
And people think others die when fighting wars for oil, if you believe that is why they are fought. A friend of mine believed this. I asked him if driving to and from work, having the fuel to power his tools, the tractors in the field to grow his food, the trucks to bring it to his home, the energy to cook that food, if any of that is worth suffering or fighting for. I feel it is worth fighting and dying for, whether doing the dangerous work to find, extract, and refine, or to combat the crazies.
That doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t have better safety controls. In this example, 15 people died instead of one because safety protocols were not followed.
