Shell Oil protesters are hypocrites | Letter

I have no quarrel with those who use their Constitutional rights to object to Shell Oil drilling for petroleum. That they are wrong in their concern has been adequately documented by responsible scientists is another issue.

What I find humorous is their hypocrisy. Did they come to the party on horseback. No! They drove their vehicles spewing what they are demonstrating against.

They are wearing clothing and using kayaks which in at least some part have benefited from petroleum. I suggest that we might take them more seriously if they did not use any thing that had petroleum behind it. I suppose they could wear all cotton clothing, ahh, wait a minute.The combines to harvest the cotton use petroleum fuel.

Oh well they provide some entertainment for the six o’clock news.
