Please ping me when you present the real data re what is really happening re the oil business and GW.
BTW, as far as I know, the one oil company that does retain rights to drill in FL is not owned nor operated by the Bush family. Furthermore, you sound unaware of Al Gore's close ties to oil companies, as you seem to think no one except the Bush family ever met anyone in the oil business.

President and Governor Bush Prevent Drilling Off Floridas Coasts and in the Everglades
On Wednesday, Governor Bush joined President George W. Bush at the White House to take historic action to protect Floridas Everglades and coasts from oil and gas drilling.
In line with previous commitments to halt any new oil and gas exploration in Florida, the federal government will buy back leases sold by previous administrations. Last year, President and Governor Bush reached an agreement to ensure no new development within 100 miles of Florida's coast. Previous Democrat administrations had agreed to drilling within this 100-mile perimeter.
Highlights of this unprecedented agreement include:
No Drilling in Destin Dome The federal government will buy back Chevron, Conoco, and Murphy Oils drilling rights to the Destin Dome area, located only 25 miles from Floridas northwest coast, home of some of the worlds most beautiful beaches. This $115 million purchase will end years of litigation and protect these pristine beachers for the enjoyment of future generations.
No Drilling in the Florida Everglades The National Park Service will purchase the Collier familys oil and gas drilling rights in the Big Cypress National Preserve, the Florida Panther National Wildlife Refuge, and the Ten Thousand Island National Wildlife Refuge for $120 million.

Never assume anything summer. I know all about Goron's ties to a very sinister oil company, Occidental and its direct connections with Armand Hammer. How could you make that assumption from what I posted? I tried to give you a compliment and you try to bite me in return! What gives here?
