Oh, and having a person (woman or man) who is a total unknown be a
heartbeat away is downright scary. The only thing I know about her so
far is she endorses drilling in Federally Protected Wildlife areas in Alaska.

Biden... We will see. I very much look forward to it. It really can go either way.

I LOVE the idea of a regular person, not yet destroyed by the Washington DC insanity being that heartbeat away. You wanna talk about CHANGE? I think you put too much faith in the 'experience' of our 'leaders'.

As for drilling in the ANWR. have you seen pics of where they want to drill? On the extreme North Slope? On ONLY about 1000 acres? It is barren nothingness. IIRC, the ANWR is about 1.5 million acres. Drilling there will disturb about 1000. The technology is available to drill SIDEWAYS.

Believe me, I am a lifelong hunter/fisher/sportsman. My memberships in the NRA and National Wild Turkey Federation have and always will do WAY more for preserving and renewing habitat than the sierra club could dream of. I CARE about our environment and habitually contribute to its defence. Not with words, but with my time and money. The government will never do anything REAL to help.
