That's true. <<oil development is very dirty business.>> I think we should drill for oil in the backyard of everybody who drives a car so they can see just how dirty it is.

Don't get me wrong. I'm a wilderness advocate, and I'll wager I've walked more wilderness than you. In fact, there is one too many of us out here, and I think you should leave.

Do you see my point? Did you look at the pictures? Let's say you have a really big front yard, maybe three or four acres. There's a postage stamp laying on the grass. The postage stamp is soaked with oil and you are too busy in Europe to clean it up. That's exactly the ratio of the affected area in ANWR to the footprint of the development, and cleaning it up is a constant activity.

I'm glad that you know first hand about the dirty business of civilization. You seem to be very talented. I'm just a forester myself. We grow trees.
