But perhaps more than anything else -- at least here atop one of the world's largest and most pristine aquifers -- this was a referendum on water.

i am for it.

not because i love the idea. but because the alternative is worse. shale oil is explosive. moving it by rail is a really bad idea. and apparently that is how it is being done at the moment.

it's a major accident waiting to happen and an obvious opportunity for terrorism. keystone is better than rail.
