Drill Baby Drill????

Just curious - do clean beaches and fishing ever matter to an economy?

Won't oil all over the place impact that?

I mean, we don't want to get all wacky with pesky regulation and all - but don't soiled beaches and devastated fishing industries also matter to an economy?

Just curious?

For those of you who like to look at pictures:

    yes they do matter but don't u put gas into your car and oil into your engines accidents will always happen the only time there has ever been a time of a prosperous economy there was affordable energy. it is time America stops being a slave to the middle east venazeula russia and all the other countries taht hates us and drill responsibly. we could shut the terrorist down just by reling on our own resources.. Government is not the answer. where is Obama he did not even respond until it was eight days later, maybe if he would have responded earlier and done his job by protescting our borders the oil slick could have been kept at bay and not reach our shores . so i do say drill baby drill

    If one will recall not so long ago when the price of gas was pretty high or they had to stand in line to get it every one in this country was screaming "Drill baby Drill".

    Kill baby kill.

    Don't you know that killing so many babies by abortion will take away a whole lot of chances that those kids one day may have a solution to our problems?

    Create a way for me to get around that doesn't require oil and Ill use it. Until then, put a sock in it!!!
