I just received an e-mail about ANWR drilling. I went to snopes and truth or fiction to verify but just found it posted on a blog. Ignore the party retoric but if the maps and pictures have any truth to it???

In my search I found a black belt on the case:

Here is another link the the Norris video. The other one didn't work for me.

The TV and TV News is the way to get to the majority of Americans, BUT since it (TV) is controlled by the ( insert your favorite group) All Americans will remain in the dark as to what is really going on around them.

For right now, Blogs and Talk Radio are the only ones that are publicly voicing apposing views.

I looks like Chuck doesn't have to worry about getting people to butter his bread. $$$$.

Other celebrities have a monetary involvement and that's why the majority will support the Liberal way of solving our problem.

If this was war time, then these protesters would go to prison and be accused of treason. A terrorist act, if you will.

I fear for my country, because it has the enemy "within it" NOW and they are in control of the Ministry of Truth, as it were.

There may come a time, in the not too distant future, when statements like these will not be allowed, when Blogs and forums will be considered as sedition.

Our children do not deserve to live under oppression and censorship, no matter who is in control.

This fuel mess is all speculation and when it comes crashing down it will take some of your pensions with it. The investors destroyed the housing market and this is just there next fiasco. We have plenty of oil for the present market and you will soon see that there is too much crude on the market and the bottom will fall out. Then things will get interesting.

I have been saying this all along. This and all the other past financial fiascos, including the emigration mess, caused by our defacto federal government now run by corporate America. Big business years ago convinced the great communicator that they shouldn't be shackled by government regulations. Today you see the results.

I just have to chime in on this once again. You guys are right (in my opinion) and I have been saying the same thing for a couple of years.

Folks:

It's 3000 miles, give or take, across this great country. At 10 miles/gallon that's 300 gallons. If fuel were 1/2 of what it is now, that would be $2.25 for me (diesel). Multiply that by the 300 gallons and you have a $750 difference for the increased cost. If it takes you 3 months to make the trip, that's $250/month increased cost maximum. If we watch it by not eating out so much and using some good judgment in spending, we can save that and more. What's the problem with staying with our plans and just conserving a bit?

SusiDave:
Even though this is "RVNet", it's really not about RVing. It's about our country's survival and our lifestyle. Almost evertyhing you can think of is directly or indirectly connected with oil -- food, clothing, shelter, medicine...
Personally, if our economy could be strong and stable; and the only sacrifice that had to be made to achieve that goal FROM OUR CURRENT POSITION would be to eliminate RV'ing, I'd do it in a heart beat.
The ability to "RV" is the least of our country's problems.

Edit: fixed a typo and eliminated two commas
