It is a relief and a real pleasure to laugh in light of a serious subject such as POLITICS!<br /><br />As far as drilling goes, I'm all for it. It's truly a matter of energy independence. Alaska will be set for life financially if this happens (and the U.S. will as well as long as most of the money or power is not going to the private contactors). <br /><br />I can understand Sarah's urgency with this issue. One key reason is that she wants to keep her promises to the Alaskan people first before she moves on to the rest of the country. And so I would like to offer my unbias, "independent" and very simple idea for a solution to this. (I won't speak about the private "special interests" here because I am against them controlling the political landscape.) But I can offer something else. <br /><br />Since not everyone in Washington thinks with common sense like Sarah (at least not yet), she might have to speak to the politicians in their own language by negotiating with them first (but not selling out) in order to get them to agree to developing Alaska's natural resources. <br /><br />It has to be ethical and something that also makes sense. Maybe making a commitment to developing new "green" energy resources or other progressive ways to develop energy in addition to drilling (to me, progressive really isn't a bad word. If you look at Germany and some other countries, they are really more advanced and prepared in this area.) Also green will bring "other kinds" of jobs too (workers and teachers of the new technologies) and IT WILL NOT compete with or remove the need for fossil fuels which will always be needed in some way.<br /><br />So, that's just my two cents. It's just a matter of coming to an agreement that makes sense for the good of all and is a win-win situation for both sides. Then if that is the case I'm sure the people will come together and back it too.NYPalinPowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279221487874221241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704358862176350513.post-36576035840372947302009-10-17T02:36:00.935-05:002009-10-17T02:36:00.935-05:00This is another good piece, too, my friend!This is another good piece, too, my friend!thirtyninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15868204590374170785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704358862176350513.post-35534740095968540432009-10-16T19:26:00.672-05:002009-10-16T19:26:00.672-05:00I like the specifics, presented with a logic even ...I like the specifics, presented with a logic even I can understand.
