<div style="RIGHT: auto"><SPAN style="RIGHT: auto">Claiming the excuse, "I need to feed my family" from someone driving a truck to Canada to ship oil, a needed product, is not the same as claiming, "I need to feed my family" from someone who helped slaughter millions of innocent lives against <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-2><SPAN>international</SPAN></SPAN> law and basic human morality. One is far more legitimate than the other. Truck drivers are little more guilty of destroying the earth than you or me for the oil we demand by driving our cars and polluting the Earth. Someday, truck drivers are going to park and people will cry out for them as they run out of <SPAN style="RIGHT: auto" id=misspell-3><SPAN>everything</SPAN></SPAN> and anything they need from apples to toilet paper to removal of their own trash. </SPAN></div>
