The dealers have shown up with new dope and the junkies are screaming, "hooray!" No, I'm not talking about the pot plantations in Marin County, but Chevron's oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico ("Big oil find by Chevron team deep in Gulf," Sept. 6). Whatever happened to global warming and the fact that digging up and burning 15 billion more barrels of crude oil is the equivalent of leaving our children locked in the car on a hot summer day? Oh, but I forgot, that's yesterday's news: Today, we're back to the color of Katie Couric's dress and Mexican drug lords destroying our beautiful country with that evil marijuana plant. Did I mention that if it weren't for the oil lobby we'd be fueling our economy on hemp and vegetable oil? Chevron is locking us all in the car on their way to the bank.
