""If you or I changed our oil and dumped it in the back yard, we'd be in a lot of trouble," said Sgt. Wayne Hanson, who leads the Drug Enforcement Unit for the Humboldt County Sheriff's Department"

I asked my cousins’ husband who’s a MIT doctoral degreed greenie and a millionaire from consulting at trials for 20 years this question. If I own a big V-8 Suburban, and I drive out to my oil wells, and drain the oil from the engine, am I polluting? He said don’t ask him questions like that.

I think the law should be changed to allow people, who own oil wells in their backyard, to drain the oil from their engines, even little V-8 Suburbans.
