There we have it. No more stupid lies about calving caribou being hurt or sensitive grass. What lies are you talking about. I have been very consistent that I support ANWR for the sake of preservation. I make no distinction between caribou or mosquitos. They are all part of the local ecosystem and in some way contribute to its balance. which look better and actually have sensitive flora and is actually kiveable during the summer. LOL. Look better to who? Livable by who? You are environmentally challenged. Are you trying to say there is more danger in shipping oil from Alaska than there is from the middle east. I would guess that this is the case. The terrain in more rugged. The weather more extreme. My point is that an accident is not easily recoverable as has been the case with the Exxon Valdez and Prince William Sound. Are you trying to say the Us should be 70% or better dependent upon others.. Is that wise or safe? Don't you dems care about the safty of US citizens? I have not said any of these things. I have said that the ANWR is a national preserve and should remain that way. Al

That is a good reason, but it is no reason to lie about the fauna and flora that lives by the drilling sites. And if flora is your main concern, there are other acreage that could be preserved in the place of the minute area that would be drilled; which look better and actually have sensitive flora and is actually liveable during the summer. Liveable for whom? ANWR is a habitat for animals and insects, not humans. So you don't have to worry about the conditions. And as I reported previously, according the Nat. Geo., the caribou like dropping their calves in the ANWR because the mosquitoes are blown off by the ocean winds and present less of a problem than further inland. So from the caribou's perspective, the ANWR is a resort spa. And comb and Al and I are trying to keep that way. Think of this way....how would you like if they starting drilling for oil all over the Dells? Hopefully, you would be upset and if so, then you know how the caribou feel when there is talk of drilling in the ANWR. ted
