#1 The only principle ~~liberals~~ socialists believe in is power. They still haven't learned the basics that have been around for 2,500 years. Being modern means never having to pay attention to the real history of human behavior.

#2 It cracked me up the other day when an Obamaniac, after threatening the hell out of the oil industry, when before a meeting of industry leaders to point out that current oil and natural gas surveys are 40 years out of date, so would they please spend a fortune to update them, so the government would be able to more effectively oppress the oil and natural gas industry?

It must have been truly amazing to see a room full of Texans saying absolutely nothing, not moving, not blinking, not breathing. It would have been a lot more amazing to hear what they had to say after he left.

#3 'moose,
I think every mile of seismic data shot by or for the oil companies in the Federal offshore has to be given to the MMS essentially at the same time. Their complaint must be that they lack the expertise or manpower to interpret it, not that they don't have the data.

#4 Not to mention that there's large amounts of the continental shelf that the Feds have basically refused to survey in detail themselves (it's not open to lease or anything in the near future, afaik).
