3 Monologues

Robbie McCormac                         White house or death house

 

It’s been 3 long hours I have been standing out side the tall white house that America looks up to how they look up to it I can not begin to understand. How can you trust people to make choices for a nation not even knowing the full effect of what can happen. The tar sands pipeline will be the death of us all. It will have a huge effect on the environment and it won’t end well. The tar sand pipe is just a failure waiting to happen the first pipe that is all ready made was only suppose to leak once every 7 years it leaked 12 times in one year! This is not a safe project that’s why I am up here next to the white house protesting for what I believe is right. We stand here untied for one cause and we are all going to stand up for what’s right like the great red woods in California we will stand up tall. The cops start yelling through their loud speakers. The words they say don’t faze us they roll right off of us like nothing was ever said. They start to move in with their batons and harsh words we still stand. I see people getting handcuffed people bleeding. I start to move back yelling we must stay put we can’t give up we came this far for a reason! An officer came up to me and through my hands behind my back I just kept a smile on my face. I felt the icy cold steel cuffs go around my wrist, At that moment I knew I did everything that I possibly could.

Hello my name is Dmitrty Medvedev I am the current Prime Minister of Russia. I thought it would be in my best interest to express my opinion about the Tar sand pipeline and how it can effect the rest of the world. The oil companies are getting greedy and they don’t understand the risk they could be putting all of us through. The oil that would be pumped out of Canada to America is what we call crude oil. Crude oil is a very dirty form of oil and it can be very dangerous to transport. This oil can have effects on the land, water ,and air. The people of the world could be potentially be facing a crisis and we don’t even realize it we just over look it like it’s just another way to get energy. I’m expressing my view here because I know President Obama has the power to make the final decision about this and he can potentially change the environment, as we know it. The tar sand’s is a catastrophe waiting to happen. It doesn’t only affect the U.S the Co2 from this can go into the air and cause serious problems for other countries to.

As an allies I would just like you to consider the possible negative out comes that may happen because of this.

To Who ever may find this.

You are reading my last journal entry. The year is 2016 December 5th We finally got approved to start getting the crude oil that was in Canada over to the united states. We should have listened to all the protesters and the environmentalist. We got all the pipes in place by 2015 but we weren’t aloud to pump the oil until this year at first everything was fine jobs were created people were happy and best of all profit was coming in. We were able to take control of the oil industry in the United States it was a great accomplishment. But weeks after drilling the world was shocked to hear what was happing the current atmospheric co2 number went from 390ppm to a staggering 460ppm in just over a week people were scared with fear and I couldn’t blame them that day I drove to the Trans Canada HQ and sat at my desk looking out the window the sky now red with heat and blistering light. I sat at my all oak desk hearing on the T.V how we doomed the planet the co2 level was suppose to rise by 12 every day eventfully causing the atmosphere to collapse and then the planet would be destroyed people were told to live as well as they could in these last moments on earth. I put my head on my desk and reached under it to take out the little bottle of rum I kept. I took one last swig and opened my vault. Once I opened my vault I saw the letters C.O.L.T .45 and I just gazed upon it.
