Re: Only difference is it's a longer drive. Without Kerry, the Halliburtons of the world would already be at work ruining the American Serengeti ROTFL! That was a good one. Heehee. American Serengeti? Tell me A.S., how close to the Porcupine Delta have you gotten? How many thousands of miles? Now I haven't been to ANWR. But I lived in Alaska for four years and I know people who spent a lot of time up on the North Slope. ANWR is no paradise. It is a mosquito-infested swampland in the short summer, and a frozen wasteland for most of the winter. I consider myself to be a rather strong enviromental champion and advocate for saving important landscapes and ecosystems for future generations. For the life of me I cannot understand how romanticized a vision of Porky-Pine Flats enviro-whackos have come to accept. The sugar-plum version of ANWR does a real disservice to the cause of environmentalism in general because people who might otherwise be feeling inclined toward the environmental movement see a lunacy in the deification the Porcupine Caribou herd and the relative handful of avian species who rely on the area for a summer breeding ground. *** Re: Drilling in ANWAR is like drilling in Yellowstone. Man, oh man. Now that is just silly.
