#1 Makes sense, and it's needed, but the idle rich (or are they just idle, period?) will be out in force to do their thingy...

"I have been told flat out ... to expect an all out fight to the finish to keep this from happening," said Bisson...

We expect no less from the we hate ourselves crowd. They will probably arrive in large numbers to protest. I'm thinking in individual cars and SUV's.

#3 There are drill sights all over Arizona(core samples searching for minerals),if done right,after a year or so you would never know they were there(unless you know what to look for).I'm sure AP knows what I'm talking about.

#4 Every drop of oil edxtracted from Alaska means less money for Al Quaida.

BTW: South Korean TV is broadcasting that SouthKoreans have found a way to make bio-degradable plastics who are as cheap than normal ones and in addition of being bio-degradable are not made from oil. :-)

#5 Bumper sticker sighted in a parking lot in the Kentlands, Gaithersburg, MD: "Keep Alaska Wild".

Easy for you to say, said I, you live in Maryland.
Grumble, grumble... said the driver.
