Again, on the subject of offshore drilling…
My Newsgang Live friend Christian Burns says that the majority of the country sees offshore drilling as a solution.
In fact, it is no solution at all. As a lifelong denizen of some of the best coastline in the world (right here in California), I am tempted to post a photo every day for as long as need be (and trust me, I have more than enough to do that) of what our coastline looks like right now, as a juxtaposition to the endless blather about how badly we NEED to destroy this for the sake of morning commutes, substandard expectations of vehicle manufacturers, and pandering to the oil companies who already have leases they aren’t exploring.
Offshore drilling is not the answer. Ten years, folks, before any difference is made.
Every day, John McCain. Every day until you and your party and your buddy Bush figure out that you
will
not
destroy
this
without knowing what you’re destroying.
Forgive the obsession, readers, and resign yourself to one seascape mixed in with a healthy smattering of political commentary for awhile.
