I was born, raised, and still live, in California, and I will tell you straight up, it's elitist, snobbish, and unacceptable that we've populated the Gulf with nearly 400 oil rigs, but won't bear to have ONE of the California coast. Well, for our pettiness and elitism, we're about to find out that haveng an uninterrupted blue Pacific horizon costs something -- about $3.999 a gallon, to be exact.
Nobody screaming about the price of gas has a leg to stand on when it comes to drilling in ANWR or off the California coast.
Let me guess, it was a case of 'Not in My Backyard!!'?.
Very well stated. Thanks!
