How's offshore drilling working out for conservatives now?
#37
Offshore drilling is working out well. This is only the first major oil disaster since the Valdez tanker crash in the late 80's/early 90s. You can't say that an entire industry should be stopped because of 1 tragedy. If that were the case they'd be no cars, coal, electricity, urbanization, and many other things that we depend on as a society. You calling for the stopping of drilling would be like someone saying we shouldn't have cities after the Chicago fire. Pure ignorance and it shows that you have no idea what you're talking about. There are many other dangerous jobs that have alot more casualties than drilling. Should we not have a military because people die serving their country? Should we stop many fish markets because the jobs are too dangerous? I guess we shouldn't fly either since plans crash from time to time. Its hard to argue with someone that feels they are right just because they think something. However I can sit here and say that through perseverance this country has become a great symbol of industrialization and commerce. I don't think that we should sit back and accept the loss of life with no plans to prevent another tragedy but I also don't think that we can condem an entire industry because of this. I believe it would help you out trememdously to get out from under whatever rock in Paintsville or Johnson county that you live under and realize the ramifictions of what you wish would happen. Do you honestly think that by eliminating offshore drilling it would not have a negative effect on society? If we ban driiling over 1 accident then why not mining? It has more accidents than drilling. What cut-offs should we use to determine an industry too dangerous? You truly are in my opinion a propaganda regurgitating liberal who know's nothing of what you are talking about or the results that it would cause.
