    This sounds like a David Letterman “Top Ten” reasons why You want the Tar Sands pipeline in Your backyard:
    #10 It’s fun to watch the digging machines
    #09 It makes me feel so special
    #08 When friends come over we listen to see if we can hear it
    #07 I now have a reason to not build in the backyard
    #06 I will be the first to know if it leeks
    #05 The yellow sign’s warning of an underground pipeline adds to my property value
    #04 It’ improved my vocabulary: DilBit is a highly corrosive, acidic, and potentially unstable blend of thick raw bitumen and volatile natural gas liquid condensate.
    #03 Making another international corporation rich at my expense is the American way.
    #02 Knowing my backyard is contributing to a pipeline that will become the tipping point for climate change.
    #01 Why You want the Tar Sands pipeline in Your backyard:
    I no longer worry about the economy with a bomb buried in my backyard.
