Pipe Dreams. TransCanada’s bullshit.

1. You know, don’t laugh but the truth is the county sheriffs could use their power to stop this one county at a time. Their elected position allows them power and jurisdiction over any state law, county judge and federal order. Only now a few sheriffs are starting to realize this.

2. That sheriff idea hints of the nullification some Teabaggers advocate. Strangely, I haven’t heard many Teabaggers raising hell against this pipeline and TransCanada’s seizure of private American property. That lends some credence to the argument that the Tea Party is just a front for the Koch brothers, who stand to make big money off Keystone XL.

3. I’m no teabagger, just know that the Sheriff’s main job is to protect property owners rights and this whole project is just another way to try to get people off their land, and it will succeed whether it’s an accident, spill or the land later becomes a Superfund site. None of the land owners have anything to gain from this. Nebraska is the key – help them and it will have to be diverted from SD..

   If they really wanted jobs and prosperity in SD, why not mine Gold again, grow industrial Hemp (where’s the balls in our SD legislature) and enhance our state parks?

4. Industrial hemp crap. The SD climate and growing season is almost identical to the part of Afghanistan where the world’s finest hashish is produced. Could corner the “medical” cannibis market.

5. Hey, medical cannibis is way more fun then industrial hemp anyway. I’m just saying.

6. You know I was hiking at Sica Hollow this summer and found quite a bit of the medical stuff near the trails. Sure enough this is the place to grow it!!
