Because you could be quoting Neil Young here...
Psycnet is right; the problem with his post isn't that he's wrong, it's that his premise is mistaken. It's not an argument when you're dealing with an ideologue. It's not a discussion with point and counterpoint. Counterpoints do not matter. There is a narrative that these guys want to support, which is that the oilsands are evil. There is no grey area. Which is great for the news, because it doesn't take much time that way, and people won't get bored and flip over to ET Canada to see what crazy name celebrity couple X gave their new baby.
