...The Corn Belt states of the US are ideal for campervan vacations and the endless miles of grain make great photo opportunities. The down to earth locals of the Corn Belt have a reputation for friendliness and community pride. A holiday in America's Wheat Belt is rewarded with plenty of memoriable sights, experiences and an encounter with old fashioned hospitality few holiday makers will forget.
What the Republicans did in December of 2011 was nothing short of incompetent. They demanded the pipeline options be expedited to supply less than 10 thousand jobs.
One single accident could do incredible damage to the most productive agricultural land in the world. Why does anyone honestly vote for these people?

The decision by President Obama was not about caving to environmentalists. There are legitimate concerns about this pipeline. Quite frankly, the final destinations for the sale of the oil out of Texas doesn't exist anymore, so the purpose of the pipeline makes no sense. None. The pipeline is has become a political icon and nothing more.
What exactly do we need the oil for?
