Slam dunk futre modal. I would like to add to this. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: Freedom to drill for oil? Yea, screw the the wildlife refuges, to hell with the environment. And anyway, what does that have to do with the record profits of the oil companies? You seem to have forgotten that little tidbit.[/quote]You seem, to have picked up a stutter. <br />[img] http://www.lpl.arizona.edu/~curtis/personal/photos/Alaska_Trip_Summer_2003/images/002_Alaska_Map.jpg [/img] <br />Let’s take a look at a map of Alaska; it is almost three times bigger than the state of Texas. The proposed drilling area would be like the size of a small town. Now, take look at your map the drilling area is smaller than you can mark with a pencil. You can’t convince me all of the Caribou in Alaska collect at one little point. So how would drilling in Alaska hurt the wildlife? I have seen subdivisions going up like crazy out here, and nobody complains. The deer adapt and move on. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: How about an even more novel concept? Take some of that subsidy money and put it towards developing "alternative" sources of energy, so we can tell the whole middle-east what they can do with their oil! But that is likely too forward-thinking for some; they would prefer to continue the madness.[/quote] <br />Of course the environmentalist weenies won’t let you do that either, we have discovered a fuel source that is very efficient and does not hurt the environment. Nuclear power. Why should the government pay for the research? Thomas Edison didn’t get government funding to invent the light bulb. If some one discovers something, it is in their best interest to develop it, to make money on their invention. <br /> <br />How about an even more novel concept. Give the money back to the people. <br /> <br /> <br />P.S. I don’t like bu***oo much either, he tends to wimp out too much; but he is a whole hell of a lot better than anybody else. <br />
