Same Demonization of Oil as Always

Share
This morning before I left for work, I caught a glimpse of an episode of "Saved by the Bell" that my sister was watching before she got ready for the day. I remember seeing it years ago when it was new, and it struck me how similar the propaganda was for both sides twenty one years ago.

The episode "Pipe Dreams" first aired in October 1989. They dream of how the oil proceeds can help their school. Then, because some animals get killed, they petition the principle to stop the drilling, and I presume that Jessie, the prototype envirostatist character, prevails for the future.

They still make the same case.
