Seems like some people here in the U.S. don't like us buying oil from the Middle East.

First, read this article (http://www.abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=2830890&page=1&Business=true)  Then come back and vote.

What do you think?
Do you think Terror-Free gasoline is a good or bad idea?

If a Terror-free gas station and a regular gas station sat across the street from each other,and even if the TF gas was a little higher in price,I think I would buy that.Of course,the mere thouht of lining any oil companies makes me uneasy anyhere it comes from...and yes...I will join for a free toaster oven,because I like toasted garlic bread alot!

Like many things, it's an idea that sounds good at first, but is kind of stupid when I mull it over for more than a couple of minutes.

My main problem is the short-sightedness of such a venture.  My other problem is just at the over-use and misuse of the word terror/terrorist at the moment, but that's more of a seperate issue than anything [curse my very fun terrorism studies to the hell they came from!]

Something just doesn't feel right about the whole thing and it taps into a side of me that really wants to hate hard-core nationalism, as much as I try not to...

I kinda don't want to unleash the beast...
