Ethical Oil

Should Americans be concerned about where they get their oil? Would you drive an extra mile down the road to purchase Canadian oil ( eh?) rather than oil from a country that hates us? Should fuel pumps be labeled so you know who you are supporting by your purchase?

"...With the oil sands at our disposal, is it ethically responsible to import our oil from the Sudan, Russia, and Mexico?

In Ethical Oil, Levant exposes the hypocrisy of the West's dealings with the reprehensible regimes from which we purchase the oil that sustains our lifestyles, and offers solutions to this dilemma..."

Response to comment [from other]:  "One pound of carbon? What is that supposed to mean? Blood? what is that supposed to mean?"

It means go hug a tree (Ro 1:23)--and an Arab. Ge 16:12.
