<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>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><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><span>everything</span></span> and anything they need from apples to toilet paper to removal of their own trash. </span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>Those that use the Nazi comparison weaken their argument. It cheapens the lives that were lost in that great <span><span><span>atrocity</span></span></span>, nothing compares to it in modern history. It also shows a lack of <span><span>creativity</span></span> in comparison and visual <span><span>illustration</span></span> when the Nazi comparison is made. It is way over used. Certainly, there are other ways of making a point clear without <span><span>bringing</span></span> up Nazis all the time. </span></div>
<div><span></span> </div>
<div><span>The focus should not be the construction flaggers, truck drivers, the mechanics that put the tires on the trucks, the police, the gas station <span><span>attendant</span></span> that let the truck driver fuel this truck or the trees and wind for not blocking their path. It shoul<var></var>d be on those in political office that allowed the megaloads up 95 and into Canada and <span><span>corporations</span></span> that <span><span>yield</span></span> considerable power and <span><span>influence</span></span> over those politicians. </span></div>
