Well Cry Me A River

Available from the National Academy of Science http://books.nap.edu/openbook.php?record_id=10388&page=29 is this little tid bit regarding oil contamination reaching into the ocean and other bodies of water. It would seem that not only is the opposition to domestic drilling by "environmentalists" unfounded, its damn irresponsible:

You see dear greenies, we (read the United States of America), are more responsible about oil "leaks" then say the Saudis, the Iranians, and Venezuelans. Despots don't seem to care about algae, go figure. So, if you really care about the environment and your beloved dolphins (tasty on rye with mayo I might add ... kidding), and given for the foreseeable future the world (and the Americas are in the world, for you Obama supporters whom think that means "Europe") runs on oil, you must, you need, you can not avoid advocating domestic drilling as an offset to transporting it in. Oh ya, and that "consumption" section, it includes yachts, wave runners, private planes etc... which none of you liberal leaning, "oil comapnies are evil" folks use of course. And keep in mind that "world marine waters" includes countries with NO environmental hazard standards whatsoever, such as China, to a great extent India, Venezuela etc. When you configure only North American standards of domestic drilling the numbers are even more favorable and thus inducive to the advocation of drilling here versus importing from there. Mr. Gore, RFK Jr, et al, when it comes to restrictions on drilling versus imports, I believe they call that check mate dear sirs ....

Sincerely, F. Ryan.
