No Arctic drilling

IT'S A HARMFUL illusion to think that tapping an Alaskan wildlife refuge will help this country's energy woes. The oil remains far away, costly to extract and limited in quantity. Drilling will be destructive to a unique and fragile region.

It is people like KnowYourEnemy that give politics a bad name! Lie to get your way, ignore the truth, Use scare tactics. Then claim "playing the game" to justify your immoral actions.

KY: It's politics baby, the way the game is played, selective striking and avoidance.lol. Which questions do you wish for me to answer. I'm pretty sure, I've covered everything.

Of course, that's only the way it's played when the facts aren't on your side. When most evidence points to your argument being correct, all one needs to do is argue the actual merits.

You might find this article interesting: http://www.newsday.com/features/ny-feat-hcov0416.story But you'll probably just ignore it like you ignore most of the actual evidence.

Thanks for the ping, but I read it (and printed it out for my wife) yesterday. Also, Rush quoted extensively from it on his radio show today.

The lies about the environment and oil are what converted me back to conservatism...
