As to those who've found work in the oil/gas boom, they're being hyper-exposed daily to the veterans in the business re the reality that Ø & watermelons are mortal enemies of our nation's energy independence.
Having spent a little time therein, out west, in my youth, I know for a fact that guys in the oil patch ain't shy ;-)
But if, after all that, they'd still vote against the nation's and their own best interests, what kinda hope is there for us in the long run anyway . . . ?
