I enjoyed readin your article very much and will confess to you that I am a conservative.
1. There are hundreds of oil derrecks on the ocean, there have been no that I have heard of from drilling there, not even when the rigs were hit by hurricane Katrina. I know this because it would have been front page news if it happened.
2. The rest of the world is drilling for the same oil we have allowed no drilling for. So we pay them for our oil. Do you pay your employer for the articles you write? Of course not. Neither should we purchase oil drilled and tapped by another country that is within our reach.
3. I would argue that no real change (an obamaism) will occur while oil supplies exist and the oil reserves we hold are massive. They should be used to the benefit our the U.S. and not sqandered by letting others have the oil. Again, you have gas in your tank and oil in your engine. Do you let others have it or do you use it, there is no difference.
Thanks for listening, this is a complicated arguement and entertaining to discuss.
