Furthermore, I see it as a natural, almost instinctive imperative that more and more people are growing concerned about the environment and trying to prevent more damage to it. Yes, well, the problem is, no one is talking about "spillage". What they're talking about is "environmental damage" -- a nebulous, meaningless term that 90% of America hasn't the slightest notion what it means. You're wrong. It is ALL about rhetoric. You get idiots like Kerry and Gore who are running for office and will say anything and take ANY position so long as it is different from that of the current administration. It has nothing to do with what's best for the country, but everything to do with what they think will get them elected. Sickening, but Democrat behavior to the core.

Ted, Whereas for others of us, we see the tapping of that oil and the potential damage it may cause the environment as the crime. I will give you a chance to prove Dick Armey wrong (when he said that liberals are shallow thinkers): You use oil regularly. This oil has to come from somewhere. The oil has to get to the gas tank of your car somehow, and along the way, there are numerous risks, that the oil/gas will cause environmental damage. Can you bridge this gap for me, between the continued use of oil and oil products an your claim that it is a crime? Furthermore, I see it as a natural, almost instinctive imperative that more and more people are growing concerned about the environment and trying to prevent more damage to it. How exactly are these people trying to prevent more damage, in a liberal way (meaning voting for some feel good measure or law) or in a real way, which is not driving a car, not using the heat, AC, not going beyond the walking distance from the house (or possibly going further on a horseback)? I know that the leading liberals of the present and past of this thread are more interested in feel good measures than taking a leadership by putting their personal comfort online, where their mouth is. Prove me wrong. And I am well familiar with the arguments by the oil interests and how they clearly think they can prevent any spillage. Well, since you are one of the oil interests (consumer) maybe you can let me know what you are doing to prevent spillage. Joe
