    Your clever mindset that has let to this problem

    You are not real smart on the facts of this issue. Drilling is only part of the solution. Your doom and gloom on oil spills and oil soaking up on the beaches is all politically motivated garbage. How much oil spilled during the last hurricane in the gulf? Fools like you the main reason we have not constructed an oil refinery in 30 years. Drill now, build Nuc plants now, build refinerys now, while, at the same time expand the use of solar power. And wind farms off of Nantucket (oops, Kennedy shot that down), well San Fransico then (oops, Nancy shot that down), then Florida (oops Nelson shot that down).

    No one listens to the libs anymore because they are a bunch of fools who will lead this country into the abyss.
