If somebody really wants to drill there I don't see the problem. I used to canvass for Clean Water Action so I'm definitely a supporter of environmental issues, but the it'll-disturb-the-caribou argument is ridiculous. I live about 10 miles from MSP International Airport, just barely outside of the "inner-loop" of the Twin Cities meto area. A few days ago somebody greased a full grown deer across a major road here. I've seen bucks in the woods around my house. Last year we had a coyote problem. Coyotes! There was a pack of 12-15 that were killing dogs and cats. 2 years ago we had a cougar problem. There was a bear attack just north of the Twin Cities this year. Hawks attacked a neighbor's Yorkie. The Caribou will be fine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212313 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
