Dear Kevin, don't read this post as it deals with facts and wishful warm touchy feely logic like saying >>>>>Anytime you go into an area that is largely uninhabited and start setting up something like oil drilling, there must be an impact on the environment; the land, the animal life, the plant ecology.

Well fact's make you see what a boob you are.
ANWR's oil reserve is estimated to be
16 billion barrels -- enough to
replace the every drop of oil America
imports from Saudi Arabia for the next
20 to 30 years.

Of ANWR's 19.5 million acres, just
2,000 -- one hundredth of one percent
-- would be affected by the new
drilling. That's an area less than a
fifth the size of Washington's Dulles
Airport.

The rest of Alaska already contains
192 million acres of publicly owned
parks, refuges, wilderness areas and
preserves -- enough to cover the
entire area of Texas and Louisiana
combined.

And a fact that the Journal didn't
note: a recent survey shows 75 percent
of Alaskans support drilling ANWR,
making the project one of the few
places left in America where the NIMBY
mindset wouldn't be a problem.

Now if we look consider all the federally owned lands. 211.5 million acres.
We use 2000. .0009 % 1 acre in 105 thousand acres.

I can only say that there is one thing that must be true. Fact reality, have no inpack on a vacant liberal mind. It must be a dereistic disorder.
