ah Rofina, I think your only job is to attack my postings. Do you ever have any fun?
do I really need to acknowledge some of the side benefits of fossil fuels? Christ, as a former smoker, I can tell you that my former lousy habit also had a lot of benefits, or so it seemed at the time.
The benefits of oil are universally known. It is a non-argument; a red herring. Meanwhile, the planet is cooking. I would say that is a pretty serious downside.

I used to come to SSP for light-hearted fun, but the contrarian Grinches have taken over.
