With more mining and drilling proposed in Alaska's Arctic wilderness we are in danger of losing more wildlife, pristine wilderness and a healthy environment for humans." This is nonsense on stilts. With new lateral drilling techniques and other advances in the petroleum and mining industries, we use less land and disturb less wildlife than ever before. The proposed drilling site in ANWR is the size of a metropolitan airport. It's proposed to be situated on a vast mosquito infested bog; not the beautiful mountainous part of ANWR.

Not a fact to be seen in this piece - just emotion and Eco-babble.

Poor mama grizzly bear! She's so cute. Now, let's throw our economy even further down the crapper! That'll be fun!!!

I’m disappointed Phyllis didn’t express disdain when the bald eagle, our national icon, didn’t follow catch-and-release protocol.

 

Phyllis your article almost brought me to tears...but I always tear up when reading emotional pablum.
