Little Green Men

So...I was thinking about the "Drill here, drill now" thing. I was wondering why the tree-huggers are so against it. I agree that dislocating animals and wildlife out of their natural habitat is not a nice thing to do.

But...the Green People are forgetting that there are just as many flora and fauna being effected by drilling in Saudi Arabia as there would be in the tundra wasteland of Alaska or the badlands of Montana or North Dakota, or even in the Rocky Mountains.

Why are they not shouting THAT from the rooftops? Does "Earth First" stop at some national border somewhere? Are we not ALL living on the same Earth? Is "Global Warming" happening only in America?

I have an idea...let's take the matter into our own hands (American hands) and solve American problems with American solutions on American soil. Imagine the effect of have 100% energy and oil independence.

Watch as all of those princes and Sheiks over there sell their Cadilacs so they can buy a gallon of gas. Kinda makes you smile, doesn't it?
