But in today’s era of cultural relativism, “ethics” have become a relative term as well. How else can one explain the silence of the left, particularly feminists, on this issue? When it comes to fashionable causes, oil-soaked birds take precedence over Saudi girls murdered for having a boyfriend, or women jailed for getting behind the wheel. The concept of ethical oil poses a huge dilemma for the left, because it exposes a truth they would prefer to ignore. The reality is that the oil they love to hate makes modern civilization possible.
Great post...

It just goes to show that an argument made on a fundamental moral ground will have more weight than one set on a practical basis.

“oil-soaked birds take precedence over ....”
Fewer than 1,000 birds got oil-soaked over 2 years ago. Meanwhile, wind turbines fricassee tens of thousands of birds every year — in return for a lot less energy output. Do you hear protests about blended birds?

Saudi Arabia clocked in at a dismal 147th.147 out of 165? I would have thought they'd be in the 160+ rank
