Henry Brown is right on. If you think that the Artic wildlife refuge is worth leaving alone why don't you go there on vacation? I bet you won't. Who care's about a Porkupine Carabou, I would rather have the oil. The Chinese are going to be drilling oil off the coast of Florida. I bet you didn't know that? Our inviormental policies are leaving this country dependent on oil from terrorist countries. If we had our own oil we would not be at war now. Have you ever been to the Artic wildlife refuge? It is a vast frozen wasteland with a sea of oil under it. When its taking your paycheck to fill up your tank with gas "keep your mouth shut" its not because of Bush its because of people like you.
