And I always wonder how people think the quality of life would be without fuel to heat the homes in winter, and fuel for power plants that provide power to run factories where people have jobs, and diesel fuel for farmers'tractors and machinery raising and harvesting crops, and fuel for truckers who bring food to our packing plants, stores and tables.

Your concerns over their plight in life is endearing. Was it there for all the other massacres that have come before it that we somehow found a way to sit on the sidelines for?
Oil is not the enemy but big oil business is. They make billions in profits, they pay nothing in taxes and even get money back from this country. We spill blood in foreign countries to ensure the safety of their employees and the protection of their equipment and property. Not to mention that the end of the day they are not even required to sell their gas to us. There is little if anything we can do now, that day has come and gone. We are left with nothing but to play along in their game. Drill baby drill.
