I guess "allegation" means guilty in RSA in spite of overwhelming evidence there was no corruption. It is factual however that RSA is going proggressively down the tubes.
D Hunter, the so-called Bill in the Congress is not exactly how you describe it. You must have obtained your info from CNN or any other of the "half-truth" networks. One fact is clear though the world's largest natural gas reserves are right off the coast of Florida, the impact of drilling there and in the northern Alaskan slopes would be minimal to the environment. Just consider this; Where do fishermen go in the Gulf of Mexico to fish? around existing oil drilling platforms.In Alaska, the Caribou herds have drmatically increased since the oil pipeline was put in. It is a proven FACT that managed, well-reasoned oil exploration is beneficial to man and beast. We do it right here and it is absurd to compare us to the "process" in RSA. jorge

Are you guys aware that there is a bill on the floor to sell about a dozen of our national parks to developers and fuel production? We are not Zim but we are starting down a path that looks pretty bad too. I thought national parks were to preserve for our grandchildrens grandchildren and beyond. D

I would be really interested in seeing any facts pertaining to this. Sounds suspicious to me, maybe from a Sierra Club or National Wildlife Federation newsletter. Please post the bill and its specific language.
