Recently, I heard Jim Hightower say that oil companies did not want to drill in ANWR because it was not going to be profitible for them. He claimed that even if the government gave them the rights to the land they may not drill. What will happen if the oil companies say they do not want to drill because the area will not be profitible for them and it will not solve any problems?

1. The repukes will still claim victory |
|
because they at least have the right to drill if they want to.

5. I seem to remember the last time this came up there was a lot of |
|
tax breaks for the oil companies. Haven't heard anything this time. They must be better at hiding details.

3. Patriot Act 3 will be passed |
|
And part of it will be about how if oil companies don't drill where republicans say to, the execs get to go to Gitmo since obviously they're giving aid to the terrorists.

4. I'm beginning to suspect that there may be other designs for the land |
|
that our militarized government has in mind.
I'm going to be working on this today.
