For one thing, there's the stupid caribou refuge that's sitting over a huge amount of oil. The drillers don't want to take up the entire caribou refuge, in fact, they only want about 2% (as I recall) and that 2% isn't even where the caribou go, it's in the corner of the park. There is NOTHING up there, it's permafrost and frozen Arctic wasteland, and the environmentalists are b!tching about it because of these precious caribou that won't even be disturbed by the oil-drilling project.
To the environmentalists, I say: For the love of all that is good and holy in the city of Chicago, SHUT THE FSCK UP! I mean, Donald Q. Duck on a pogo stick, the caribou don't even matter! Which would you rather have, the caribou and $8 a gallon for gas, or the caribou and independence from Saddam Hussein's testicle grip on this country? Honestly. I bet you have a leather wallet or shoes.
