Elvin:  this is an article about a "liberal elite" approving a pipeline.  Saying that "liberal elites" don't understand that our economy relies on extractive industries is ludicrous in the face of that decision.  

But the question I have is: do you care if you're being ludicrous?  Or do you just want to make factless statements that make you feel strong?  There are plenty of people on the right and the left that just want to shout, and don't care if they make sense because shouting feels good.  Is that you?
