If McCain had a decent college education perhaps he would understand the dangers of replaying history. Indonesia, Brazil, Russia and China had all thought they could easily overcome the hazards of plate tectonics due to off shore drilling. When plates under the ocean floor collide earthquakes, tzunami's and over-all destruction occurs. Off the shore of Oregon the Juan de Fuca plates collide every so often. Oregon is planning for the next tzunami. Off Shore drilling may lead to collisions whereby activating these plates and causing massive storms, hurricanes, tzunami's, destroying fish, sea mammals, and wildlife and interfere with sea bird's migration. We would have oil spills that would pollute perhaps the only untouched area on this planet. McCain probably does not understand that in order to start millions would have to be spent to make this a safe venture. Under the ocean floor pipes would have to be built and drilled which could lead to tectonic collisions. In the event of a hurricane lives would be lost because of a massive fire and oil spill but McCain and his Republican Bush Buddy's really don't care who it effects so long as their wallet is full. What McCain's quick fix proposes is an obstruction to the natural order of life. It will shift the mind set of the population into thinking that everything is honkey dory and McCain will be our 'Savior.' American's take a second and third look at everything this Bush thinking 'liberal' is proposing before voting for him.
