That's true everywhere. ANWR isn't different, is it? If so, how?

"It's even fragile to a camper who litters." What a soft-headed response. How do you define, "fragile." Depending on the definition, isn't it possibly applicable everywhere?

How about development in general, as in building a high-rise building, which you leftist loonies don't object to? How much fragile environment was disturbed when the World Trade Center was first constructed? How about the entire f'ing city of New York?

How about all the urban and suburban development going on in every city and suburb in the U.S., under the loving direction and support of DemocRAT planners, councils, mayors, and executives, all of which are destroying the local environment and will have growing energy needs?

You and yours are hypocrites.

The alleged love and concern for "pristine wilderness, wild-life herds and tundra..." are motivated by an abstract desire to preserve something, somewhere, and, moreover, to distract our attention while these very same people, motivated, financed, and supported by real estate developers, are destroying the local environment and causing ever-greater consumption needs that can't be satisfied.

People ought to focus more on their local, close-to-home real estate development projects, which are causing a lot more damage than ANWR drilling ever will.
