Drill Now
Aug 17, 2008 at 09:42PM
From my comments to Why I Support Offshore Drilling by my friend, Joel.
"Off shore drilling is to America's energy addiction what offering free heroin is to heroin addicts-- another shot in the arm.
That said, this nation is so hopelessly addicted that no amount of rational thought can save us from our greed. Like so many addicts we only seek recovery when we can fall no lower.
Drill away, the quicker we destroy ourselves the quicker we can see how wrong the last 100 years have been."
That's right, we must drill now because only after it is gone will Americans ever agree on sustainable solutions. As for me, I'll continue to enjoy 200 miles per gallon of gas, living a modest lifestyle close to where I work and laughing at those of you who think government and "free markets" will provide real solutions.

Ha! Well, that's a novel idea. I hope you are wrong. I fear you may be right.
So do I, Roch, so do I.
