Yeah, well, to hell with them. We should impose a Federal requirement that anyone with any oil or potential oil must drill immediately.

//Big part of summer when I was a little kid in Santa Barbara was peeling tar off the soles of my feet with baby oil after we went to the beach.

I’m no expert, but why is it so objectionable to have drilling in the off-shore areas? If the drilling is a couple of hundred miles out to sea, would that really be such an aesthetic blight? And with today’s improved drilling techniques, would it really damage the fisheries? I’m not at all sure that most of the opposition isn’t totally irrational.
