I was surprised to learn that 70% of Americans didn't realize that plastic is made from oil. Today oil has hit 103 dollars a barrel and Hillary is again threatening to take oil products for the "common good" Without oil we wouldn't have many medications or computers or shampoo or thousands of other things that we use every day. There are other ways of getting oil without paying big bucks to terrorist companies, including getting it from corn and turkey guts! I don't support the use of crops for biofuels as we need to do better at feeding the world's poor, however I do fully support using dead turkeys:)
