I think you need a new brain...it's not just abt drilling in Alaska. R u blind abt the current situation in the world. Abt why the American gov't went into Afghanistan and now in Iraq.
Ohh yea u r blind... |
Yea I'm blind ... I must have COMPLETELY misread what the topic was about. I was under the impression that this thread was entitled "Senate rejects oil drilling in Alaska wildlife refuge" but I guess I'm wrong. Should have guessed it was about USA the world and oil. |

dude it's all interconnected. u'r missing the bigger picture. do u think they would have gone to war to take control over the oil reserves of central asian countries. or gone to war against Iraq, if they had been allowed to drill in Alaska, which by the way has an abundance of oil reserves...
This American gov't is all about the oil and nothing else. so u see it does relate to this topic. :crazy: :tongue2 |

| Possibly, but can we have at least one thread where Iraq, WOMDs, etc. aren't mentioned? |

Rejection of the drilling was one of the two pieces of positive news today:
A man with an I.Q. of 67, who was on death row for murder, was taken off the "row" by direct order of John Ashcroft. Numerous legal organizations and ethics professors had argued that killing a legally retarded man constituted cruel and unusual punishment, and in a rare moment of clarity, Ashcroft agreed.
I guess Republicans are giving progressives a millimeter of concessions in an effort quell any possible political dissent.
(BTW, The Clinton administration oversaw the execution of Ricky Ray Rector a few years back, a man with a 65 IQ who saved part of the pecan pie from last meal "for later.").... |

| It was wierd though, that Bush wanted a majority of republcians both in the House and the Senate so his plans and agenda could be passed out, but even so, the Alaska Drilling was rejected, which Im happy for:D |

I know man. I can't stand people who blindly support politicians based on party line. Surprising Ashcroft would pardon that man! It was good to see (I believe) 9 Repubs voting against drilling in Alaska!
you Cheny!!!!!!!
I need a T shirt that says that....:D |

I'm very glad the US Senate refused to drill in Alaska... but who knows, maybe they'll change their minds in the future.
It's really too bad that people are so bent on squeezing the planet of every drop of oil, to the detrimental expense of wildflife and ecology, nay life itself, to feed overinflated energy needs. Shouldn't even be called "needs"... rather, energy superfluities.
We should be pursuing alternate energy sources! Now for a reply to JM's:

heh...there's no real need to drill in alaska anyways. once Saddam goes down, you can put a US flag over the map of Iraq = US oil fields;)
>JM< |
Actually JM, don't be narrow-minded. Try to see things from all perspectives, and I mean this - what about the Iraqi's? If the US plants their flag over the oil fields (which might have already been done), isn't this infringing on Iraq's ownership of their own natural resources?
You can't just steal someone's oil like that. It's absolutely wrong. |
