Liar, liar, pants on fire.... shorty, You are a liar. Liars are losers. Liars make people mad. Liars will never succeed for long, and once discredited are never trusted again. You need to apologize to us for misrepresenting the facts. And pay more attention to reality, instead of your own warped ideological fantasies: usgovinfo.about.com Majority Oppose ANWR Oil Drilling, Survey Says Dateline: February, 2005 A bipartisan national survey has found that by a margin of 53 percent to 35 percent, Americans oppose proposals to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The bipartisan telephone poll of 1,003 registered voters was conducted January 13-17, 2005, by Republican firm Bellwether Research and Democratic pollsters Lake, Snell, Perry and Associates for the Alaska Coalition, an alliance of national and local groups who favor protection for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Question: Should oil drilling be allowed in America’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge? 53% -- Do Not Allow Oil Drilling 38% -- Allow Oil Drilling The poll found a remarkable gap in intensity of feeling about drilling: 44% of respondents strongly oppose drilling, while just 25% strongly support it.

Liar. ANWR driling is opposed by the majority of Americans in every single poll ever done. Not only that but Bush and the oil companies are lying through teeth about leaving a "small footprint". When they count the developed acres they don't count 95% of it which are the roads and pipelines, junkyards, spillage, villages, etc. etc. etc. In permafrost, when you throw away an orange rind it takes about 50 years to decompose. So basically they're going to turn the place into a big dump. Drilling there is for one purpose only, short-term windfall profits for the big oil companies, and they'll keep jacking the gas prices higher and higher. Meanwhile they will have damaged or destroyed our last great wilderness area, something which can never be replaced. The CAFE standards bill Bush defeated would have saved more oil than ANWR will ever produce. But efficiency is not in the Bush lexicon. Shame on you for sticking up for the pollutors, gougers and looters of our wilderness. You really should be ashamed of yourself. You're also a bald-faced liar.

Why is someone who cares about conserving our national parks, coastlines, wildlife and wilderness areas a "wacko"? Also, what about clean air, water and lands we literally need to survive? Your attitude is harmful and just plain evil. The greatest gift we can leave future generations is a cleaner America and plenty of wild places. Going into the wilderness (God's country) cleanses the soul and makes one proud of this country. Seeing a clear-cut forest or a wildland covered with oil rigs has the opposite effect.
