The thought of all those poor birds and other animals makes me sick to my stomach. Imagine a duck landing in the water, just like he has his entire life, and suddenly, he is covered in this horrible substance. He cannot fly away - the more he thrashes, the worse it is. he doesn't undertand what is happening but he is now trapped and will spend the next few days dying an agonizing death. Why? So that some asswipes can become even richer than they already were drilling oil out of the ocean. Drill, baby, drill? I'd like to see Sarah Pallin and all the rest of those idiots tossed right into the middle of that muck. They'd be singing a different tune.

To be more accurate it's " Drill baby Drill" just not off my coast. How many americans want to consolidate down to 1 car, car pool, ride a bike, or make 1000s of small sacrifices needed so we don't need to depend on so much oil. The people who bitch about the BIG BAD OIL companies are the same people who aren't making any sacrifices. Everyone wants their cake and eat it too, but it doesn't work that way.
If we all sacrificed then demand for oil would go down and there would be no need to do more drilling.
Drilling more is a REACTIVE measure to supply and demand. The demand ( due to all of us) is high so they are trying to make sure the supply is there so people dont freak out over 3 hour lines at the pump or the price of gas goes up to $10 a gallon if we cut back a lot on production.
