Object: We Can Learn A Lot From Where People Stand On ANWR
If you've cruised the net over the last day or so, on the right or left, you
can't help but see ANWR, ANWR, ANWR everywhere. The 51-49 vote in the Senate
to open drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is causing Liberal
Democrats to gnash their teeth in grief and conservative Republicans to get
more excited than the kid in that Numa Numa Dance video.
We can learn a lot about the priorities of conservatives and liberals by
watching their reaction to ANWR.
Conservatives are happy because they believe we're about to start tapping
into a major, new domestic source of oil even if it will take years to get
the crude flowing out of the ground. That means new jobs for Americans who
handle the drilling and build the pipeline to Alaska. It also means that
we're going to acquire more of the substance that powers our economy without
having to pay out our money to less than friendly countries like Saudi
Arabia & Venezuela. Best of all, the oil is in the absolute middle of
nowhere, so we don't have to inconvenience anyone to drill ANWR. To the
right, developing ANWR is all upside, all positive, an idea that is so
fantastic that they can hardly understand how any rational person could
oppose it.
On the other hand, liberals are enraged that it looks like we may be
drilling ANWR. Part of that is because of their free floating hostility to
the oil industry, but their real beef is that ANWR is such a remote area.
Conservatives may consider that a feature, but to liberals it's a bug. The
very fact that it's a godforsaken region that almost no one visits makes it
so rare and valuable to them that it's worth leaving billions of dollars
worth of oil in the ground and forsaking tens of thousands of jobs just in
case someone wants to ever see what the boonies are like in the future. Oh,
and we mustn't forget, they claim that the pipelines, roads, oilmen and
people going back and forth might -- and I say might because this is heavily
disputed -- disturb the animals. The fact that you could make the exact same
argument about every populated area in North America seems lost on them.
Now you tell me: who's looking out for everyday Americans on this issue?
Conservatives who want more jobs & oil for their fellow countrymen or
liberals who are concerned about future back-packing trips for an
infinitesimal percentage of the population and maybe happier caribou and
polar bears, maybe not. That's not a tough call.

It would destroy the would economy.


Neocon *****. There is no evidence to suggest that conservation
would destroy any economy. The reality is that lower enegry costs
would only improve the world economy.


Fuel is just one of the products of oil.

What a typically idiotic non sequitur. You resort to stupid lies and
then the best you can do is try and change the subject.

You libs don't seem to realize that oil makes the world go 'round.

You neocon morons think that blatant dishonesty makes you right.

Hi Ray ( and Maaxx ),
Re: Your suggestion that conservation would only improve the economy,
Control is the goal.
It's not about how much the rich world consumes,
but rather it's about whether the rich world can control it's consumption.
Overconsumption is a problem for the rich world
just as obesity is a problem for it's inhabitants.
The rich world has a habit of importing slave labor
while, at the same time, exporting it's pollution.
It's also in the habit of using rather large sticks
and rather fat carrots to control the Middle East.
Is that what the rich world wants ?
Is it showing contraint and forethought ? I don't think so.

The oil isn't doing any good sitting in the ground.

Non sequitur. Try harder next time.


It's an analogy, halfwit.


A false one. Money earns interest in the bank. Oil in the ground is
useless.


Oil in the ground also "earns interest" since it tends to become
more valuable over time.


Of course we don't want the oil to "earn interest" because that would
mean paying more money for gas and just about everything else.

That's a good thing.


For oil companies.


And everybody else who uses oil.


Nope. Doesn't do anything for me. It's unlikely to result in
lower prices, which means more profits for oil companies and I'm
out a wildlife refuge.


Of course you snipped the section which explained how we would
*not* be out of a refuge why drilling is a good idea.


I snipped your *****. Putting drilling rigs and pipelines in the
wilderness means that it's no longer a wilderness.


Well, if you call a few oil rigs in a wildlife refuge the size of
South Carolina "no longer a wilderness."


How many oil rigs? Be specific.

But that's just your screwed up logic.


And your habitual dishonesty.

Call it whatever you want but a few oil rigs isn't going to destroy
ANWR.


Unless you're lying and it's more than a "few".


Only 2000 acres out of 19.2 million acres can be developed.


The 2000 acre figure has been shown to be B.S. It doesn;t cover roads
and pipeline access.

Why don't we have a conservation paln AND drill off Jeb Bush's Florida

gracefully and with great fanfare proclaimed:

There's apparently more oil to be had off the Florida coast than anywhere

You got caught lying, and like a typical neocon *****, you try to

Drilling on 2000 acres also means additional land for roads and
pipelines and support buildings and houses and landing strips.
Your claim that only 2000 acres would be developed was complete
*****, just like most of the other crap you write.

You are not very good at dealing with facts. The vote did NOT open the ANWR
but instead blocked a fillibuster to delay or deny. They still have to get
the bill passed.

Refuge is causing Liberal Democrats to gnash their teeth in grief and
conservative Republicans to get more excited than the kid in that
Numa Numa Dance video.

Hyperbole and probably good enough grounds to suspect a certain emotional
immaturity.


We can learn a lot about the priorities of conservatives and liberals
by watching their reaction to ANWR.

Their are two kinds of people in the world. Those that believe that there
are two kinds of people in the world and those who don't. Nice to have
things so neatly split as you do.. but not very rational.


Conservatives are happy because they believe we're about to start
tapping into a major, new domestic source of oil even if it will take
years to get the crude flowing out of the ground.

Lie. There are no proven reserves in the ANWR.

That means new jobs
for Americans who handle the drilling and build the pipeline to
Alaska.

Haliburton and Roots/Brown are probably too busy carpetbagging in Iraq. This
is really a sop to the 'exploration' industry that is begging Bush for money
as they haven't found anything for decaded. A $5B giveaway that will come
out of consumers pockets. But hey, what is a few billion among Bush
supporters?

It also means that we're going to acquire more of the
substance that powers our economy without having to pay out our money
to less than friendly countries like Saudi Arabia & Venezuela.

No. That is the claim, but the reality is that no known reserves exist. The
entire game is to 'hypothesise' that there are massive oil reserves there to
ensure that they can get the rights to drill regardless of whether they find
anything or not.

Best
of all, the oil is in the absolute middle of nowhere, so we don't
have to inconvenience anyone to drill ANWR.

More lies. According to the 1987 treaty with Canada, the U.S. must NOT
disturb the caribou herds that are the source of food for thousands of
natives and which are very vulnerable to disturbance during calving season.
Although I don't see what Canada can do about it. All it will accomplish
will probably be a lessening of cooperation on other matters and a
continuation of the friction caused by the 'bullying tactics' of the U.S. on
trade and defense.

To the right, developing
ANWR is all upside, all positive, an idea that is so fantastic that
they can hardly understand how any rational person could oppose it.

And yet, a rational person has to deal with the facts. A practice that you
claim the Conservatives cannot do? I thiink that this is an insult to
conservatives everywhere.


On the other hand, liberals are enraged that it looks like we may be
drilling ANWR.

Mostly I suspect that it is people that are weighing the small chacne of
major reserves ( they have to be major to warrant the pipeline ) in an area
that is geologically much more likely to produce small uneconomical pools if
there are any at all.

Part of that is because of their free floating
hostility to the oil industry, but their real beef is that ANWR is
such a remote area.

You confuse the idea of wilderness preserve with 'remote' and suggest that
there is no value to preserving nature? This suggests that you belong to a
*third* group, neither liberal or conservative but merely wasters and
destroyers.

Conservatives may consider that a feature, but to
liberals it's a bug. The very fact that it's a godforsaken region

Yup. The 'everything is ***** and so worthless' psychology of the sociopath.
The group of people that value nothing and whose ultimate aim seems to be to
bring everyone down to their level of ruin.

that almost no one visits makes it so rare and valuable to them that
it's worth leaving billions of dollars worth of oil in the ground and

What oil are you talking about?

forsaking tens of thousands of jobs just in case someone wants to

So put them to work digging ditches. You can have one shovel it out and the
other shovel it in. Use the same amount of money and you can waste it just
as effectively, with thousands of jobs 'created'.

ever see what the boonies are like in the future. Oh, and we mustn't
forget, they claim that the pipelines, roads, oilmen and people going
back and forth might -- and I say might because this is heavily
disputed -- disturb the animals.

It is hardly disputed among the ecologists. Those who understand the
science. The calving herds are right on the land and very prone to abort if
disturbed ( a natural instince to allow the animal to be prepared to flee
predators ). The false comparison with the North Slope often forgets that
the calving grounds there are outside of the area being drilled and thus has
much less effect, along with the fact that the herds there do not migrate
the long long distances that the Porcupine herd do.

The fact that you could make the
exact same argument about every populated area in North America seems
lost on them.

The only thing lost here is common sense and a balance post.


Now you tell me: who's looking out for everyday Americans on this
issue? Conservatives who want more jobs & oil for their fellow
countrymen or liberals who are concerned about future back-packing
trips for an infinitesimal percentage of the population and maybe
happier caribou and polar bears, maybe not. That's not a tough call.

Dealing with reality is a tough call. Your type of fantasy fairy tale would
not be a tough call if it had any validity. As it is, it leaves the
questions unanwered.
