Big oil and Cancer

If you think about it, the root of all of the evil cancer causing products is petroleum. If we were not so dependent on these products, how much of our society would benefit? The benefits of phasing out our dependency on oil and developing clean energy-wind, sun, vegetable, etc, and using the resources that are readily available to us to replace the petroleum-based plastics, such as corn products, are immeasurable, not only for the air we breathe, but for our overall health and well-being in all facets of life.

Maybe the solution is not more research on how to kill cancer, but to prevent it in the first place. How much money have big oil companies made causing the very disease that we spend billions on to research? We need to be a more responsible and educated society, in order to make the right choices for the future of our children and grandchildren. Why do we want to leave this mess for them to clean up? Our industrialization seems to have progressed very quickly, but realistically we are still in the revolution. When you develop something new, for example the invention of the automobile, you do not know the best way to do it, because it is new. We need to get real about the possibility that we should improve and choose better fuel sources.

Our society has become stagnant and lazy, because we accept all that is around us, without question all too often. It is too bad that the auto industry did not evolve as quickly as the computer industry. That is a prime example of constant improvement, from vacuum tubes to handheld computers that are far superior. If we had the desire to understand that the way we have always done it may not be the best way to do things, we would be better off. Join me in my fight against big oil, before it destroys the beauty, majesty and life of our planet. It goes far beyond just banning off-shore drilling, which I am highly passionate about, it is about protecting our people, our planet, our future.
