With gasoline prices above $4 a gallon, Bush and his Republican allies think Americans are more willing to allow drilling offshore and in an Alaska wildlife refuge that environmentalists have fought successfully for decades to protect. Nearly half the people surveyed by the Pew Research Center in late June said they now consider energy exploration and drilling more important than conservation, compared with a little over a third who felt that way only five months ago. The sharpest shift in attitude came among political liberals.
==============================================================
Could it be? Have we seen the light?

Democrats say they are for drilling, but argue that oil companies aren't going after the oil where they already have leases. So why open new, protected areas? they ask. Democrats say there are 68 million acres of federal land and waters where oil and gas companies hold leases, but aren't producing oil.
Americans are fed up every time they go to fill up and they're right to demand action. But instead of a serious response, President Bush and his allies simply repeat the same old line more drilling," Rep. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said in the Democrats' radio address. "Democrats support more drilling," he said. "In fact, what the president hasn't told you is that the oil companies are already sitting on 68 million acres of federal lands with the potential to nearly double U.S. oil production. That is why in the coming days congressional Democrats will vote on 'Use It or Lose It' legislation requiring the big oil companies to develop these resources or lose their leases to someone else who will."

Ok I'm game here. So where are these 68 million?

Well that does'nt tell me much. Many other google links lead to Dem sites that say much the same thing.
So my question would be why if we have 68 million acres of explored land that why would be be looking in the ANWR?

Jimmy Smitts or Alan Alda?

In the end we need to do something. I don't really want to be driving 55 or having a perpetual daylight savings time, so look I understand too little too late. I realize there are things you say and do that you that you can never take back. But what would you be if you did'nt even try. You have to try. So after a lot of thought I like to reconsider. Please if its not too late..............Which of you guys are Fender Strat guys and which are Gibson, I gotta know? The battle lines are drawn.
