National Reserves

The pretty newscaster lady was talking about the long-term environmental impact of the spill, how the crude sludge decays into fantasy and delusion. She's smiling. Easy for her to talk; she's had her ration and more, I'd wager.

Kind of ironic: selling it off is the best way to look to the future, for most of us.

Used to be I held my job as a sacred trust. But now I've got a truck of liquid hope parked outside and all I can think of is dumping it all into the local aquifer. Maybe we'd be better off without it...
