Just when I think there is a suitable, intelligent reasonable man directing this great country – the news comes that the President is in favor of opening the arctic north [Alaska] to oil drilling and exploration. I thought that after the major debacle in the Gulf of Mexico, it alone would be evidence enough to cease any further exploration and drilling any effin’ where!!! Add to that, the most recent debacle in Japan with their nuclear electric generation plants. Ok, is it just me or can we not agree that humankind still lacks the knowledge to efficiently manage our earthly resources?
If you haven’t tried to get from point A to point B lately by means other than your gas-guzzling, air we breathe polluter called an auto…consider this;
Try it! While it is still an option so you will have a good idea how insanely difficult it becomes having to depend on other transportation to get from A to B, and then back again.
Oh sure we can all bury our heads in the sand and convince ourselves that the ecological problems will fall on generations to come… really?
We are drilling/fracking/exploring into our earth as we have done with credit without care, or foresight. Awww I have heard all those naysayers speak of global warming yadda, yadda – they don’t know for sure. Really?
I’m asking all members of this planet to contact your congressional reps, or contact our President directly and halt this effin madness of fossil fuel burning – let’s initiate the change NOW to cleaner methods of transport. Instead of opening up our truly precious ecological areas such as Prudhoe Bay in the arctic range, use that money/effort to development of one or many alternatives.
Or simply do nothing. I mean, what the hell, right? It’s consequence will fall on future generations.
