Dear Kevin, Another great wishful Vancan Liberal Mind pronouncement. (And I think I read that you claim to be an engineering manager.) >>>> 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. duhhhhhhhh Dear Kevin, I do suspect that several bacteria and microbes will not like where the hole is drilled. On the other hand Kevin if you own and live in a house you could burn it down plow up the foundation and return it to nature and you could live out of your car. Your car will not go anywhere as when you drill no holes you have no gas. What a maroon. tom watson tosiwmee

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. tom watson tosiwmee
