Are you for or against Drilling for Oil?
If its in your local National Park?
or lake or sanctuary or backyard.
and you don’t stand to profit at all or benefit in any way.
That is what will happen with McCain/Palin.
My backyard, my local National Park (Channel Islands), no reduced gas prices, oil companies are the only ones who will benefit.
Think about it, don’t just say: Yes, if it will reduce the reliance on foreign oil, yada yada blah blah…
I’ve seen firsthand how it has killed our wildlife, sea lions, pelicans, and mussels covered in black tar. Melted seepage form the smelly heated operations undergoing in the Pacific Ocean right off my coast.
Sacre Veritas, you are the one that’s wrong. I can see 22 rigs from my home right now between 5 and 25 miles from the coast. The boats that service these (transporting oil in many cases) burn literal boatloads of fuel in theri thrice daily crossings. They create smelly traffic in the channel and go virtually unregulated.

Against it, why waste time and money when you could use it developing alternative fuels. i think its estimated that in about 50 years the oil will be gone anyways, no use in destroying beautiful land which we’re trying to preserve too.

all for it, wherever, all for wind too

All for it. Trust me, if it’s in your backyard, you will profit by the boatloads. Mineral / petrol rights rock:o)
Oh, and I agree with the first poster.
T. Boone Pickens for Pres!

Against. We don’t have oil to sustain ourselves with.
It’s a sad truth that most people (and Palin) just don’t get.

What we need is to turn away from oil. If we put our investments into drilling more, that’s money we can’t use on investing in other technologies.

I’m for drilling as long as it does not kill our wild-life and reduces our Independence on Arabia states.

You’re wrong about that. Prices will go down with increased supply, unless demand matches the increase, then prices will remain the same instead of going up.
I kind of doubt that you will be able to see the oil rigs from your home though. In the link below, people can see a map of the area.
