Do the pipes in your home leak?
Do pipes on our homes carry tar sands oil which is highly corrosive to pipes?

I never understood why they didn't build refineries near the resource, like they did in Texas in the early 1900's.

You people really need to learn your history!

Quote:
The Whiskey Rebellion, or Whiskey Insurrection, was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791, during the presidency of George Washington. Farmers who used their leftover grain and corn in the form of whiskey as a medium of exchange were forced to pay a new tax. The tax was a part of treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton's program to increase central government power, in particular to fund his policy of assuming the war debt of those states which had failed to pay. The farmers who resisted, many war veterans, contended that they were fighting for the principles of the American Revolution, in particular against taxation without local representation, while the Federal government maintained the taxes were the legal expression of the taxation powers of Congress.

Must be the government that allows foreign companies set up shop here.
Certainly Americans wouldn't let it happen.

Much of the Whiskey Rebellion took place in Pennsylvania.

About 20 men were arrested, but they were either pardoned or paroled ... so no one spent any time in jail.

They were there to protect the cattle, wonder why BLM felt the need to kill 2 prize bulls...... One bull was running in
the direction away from the "drugstore cowboys" when they shot it in the head. The bull's horn skid across the ground as he hit. This shows the bull was trying to get away. Also, Bundy has shown the injured calves and cows it's plain sick they went to harm innocent animals. I don't care if Bundy owed them, the animals didn't deserve this.
