63. Tell how my thinking is wrong about this:
Setting aside ANWAR for a moment...

In NC, there's an airport for which democrats and republicans have approved federal funding so that it can expand. If it's expanded, it will be able to serve as a Fed Ex hub, which will bring jobs to the the area.

Because of population growth in NC, the airport is too small for the community it serves anyway.

Environmentalists don't want the airport runways lengthened because they want to protect the wetlands around the airport and they consider Democrats who support expansion traitors to the progressive cause.

Now, if I point out that NC is growing in population, and will need bigger airports to serve the people who are already there, and if they don't expand this airport, they're probably going to have to build a brand new airport somewhere else nearby, which would be a waste of resources, and that FedEx jobs are decent jobs, and commerce that creates wealth for people who work for a living isn't a bad thing, and having better FedEx service might be an OK thing, and that some of the cots of all this might be worth the benefits...now does all that say that I'm working within a RW framework?
