They are just doing this on purpose now?

Like, hey, let's just keep on blowing up the train, and maybe they'll get used to it.

I am sure when Enough women give birth to 3 eyed babies, we will wonder how we ever got along without the third eye.

Never a train derailment in Lynchburg, never a train derailment in downtown by the James, or never a derailment of oil cars spilling oil into the James.

This is why I'm not really against the pipeline. It seems if we're going to screw around with oil, we're going to spill some of it whether we have a pipeline or no. It might actually be much safer. So we might as well have a pipeline. Besides, it's going to create 6.3 million jobs........................


Just kidding on that last part.

Hence why they are in no hurry to stop them anytime soon with their own money.
