   It may have more to do with the environmental destruction wrought
   by Dutch Royal Shell, mostly in the Arctic and in Africa.  I'm more
   concerned about their activities from a human standpoint, but like
   most extractive industries, it's their depradations that make our
   rather cosy way of life even possible.

BTW, hemp makes TERRIBLE clothing, IMO.

   Yeah, but people are much more prepared to run into a burning building
   to save trapped people if there's a side benefit...;)
