Scott, re: <My friend... when you're proposing to drill on an environmental refuge that borders on our territory and OUR protected refuge.... when you propose to put in drilling a spot that could seriously affect the caribou herds and other wildlife that cross from your territory to ours.. and affect our native populations as well as yours.. .. when there is a chance that something like what happenned in Brazil might happen up there.. where our coast and our land would get affected by a spill.. we have every right to "bug" in your business.. because its OUR business as well.. heck.. its the worlds business in the whole scheme of things to help save the planet from money grubbing short sighted people like Bush and greedy capitalists like the oil barons who couldnt give 1 whit about whether they damage the environment or the native peoples way of life >

OK Scott, sounds like I hit a nerve.

Let's see if I can drill that nerve. Like we're about to start drilling ANWR -- OR can you set me straight?

At
anwr.org

Have a look at Myths of the ANWR, second of the ANWR Fact Sheets.(Left side of page.)

The graphics on page two are interesting -- where they show ANWR in relation to Prudhoe Bay, Sourdough, & Mackenzie fields.

The graphic 'Do the caribou really care?' is also interesting.

As is the *FACT* that the locals strongly support drilling.

When you say ...and other wildlife that cross from your territory to ours.. are you saying you are upset that our wildlife may be injured in our protected area and unable to cross into your unprotected area? Or does the ANWR not stop at the Canadian border -- as the map shows? Is all that territory protected? or is it drillable -- as is the Mackenzie basin?

Have a serious look -- Don't just give it the 'bullshit all conservative bullshit -- and this is the way it really is' response & I may pay some attention to you But I sure would like some somewhat cogent stuff -- web sites that aren't crap -- from your side before I start to pay a whole lot of attention to you.
