"Nowhere did I make a comparison. All I said was that residents in those areas mught disagree. For the record, I oppose offshore drilling. I am neutral on nuclear power. My biggest concern with nuclear power is how to handle the waste (and there is), the vulnerability of nuclear power plants as they relate to national security concerns (mostly because I do not have faith in our current government's competence in that regard), and whether damage can be contained in the event of an accident." - Karoli

"There is nothing to discuss here. Where have you left an avenue for discussion. You came like blazes, laying down the law and suggesting that anyone who disagrees or has other ideas for solutions other than digging under the sea for that black gold cares for animals and shorelines more than people. There's no room for discussion here. You have an opinion. You've stated it. It's here for all to read, no holds barred. Don't expect me to bang my head against the brick wall of one whose mind is made up. I won't -- it wastes my time. How did you get a comparison of the Soviet Union to the US out of my last reply? read it again. I named the two most recent locations of major nuclear accidents. that is all. no comparison made." - Karoli

"nuclear meltdowns are the exception rather than the rule, too. however, I doubt the residents of Chernobyl or Three Mile Island take that as much comfort. We disagree. Fair enough." - Karoli

"interesting. for thousands of years human beings survived without oil. in the last 100 or so years, it's all about oil. So instead of other options, like releasing the patents that the oil companies hold for viable alternatives, you'd rather just destroy the coastline. If you saw Santa Barbara's coast in 1969, you might think differently. The next time you jet off to the coast for vacation, imagine yourself watching the platforms twinkling in the distance next to dead sea water. Your ignorance in this regard mirrors over 70% of the American population. Stupidity doesn't make something a fact. Just proves the majority is a bunch of sheep looking for the easy fix. Your effort to link up offshore drilling with a woman's right to choose? That's reprehensible, since the argument on abortion centers around the choice and has absolutely nothing to do with risk." - Karoli

Re: Palin: Here’s My Take

"Not really. Attacking her is asking for outcries of sexism and uniting the base. Attacking his politics falls back on her, just like Rev. Wright fell back on Obama. Frankly, though, it's really not going to come to that. The fact is, she is embracing the policies of the far right that have failed for 8 years. Your comment about getting it right? Right on the money." - Karoli

I like blogging from my Blackberry when I'm mobile. It's not ideal, but beats the heck out of schlepping a laptop when I don't have to. - Karoli

Definitely something I need to try. Then again, I'm still considering making the switch to the iPhone. We will see... - Mark Douglass

"It doesn't have anything to do with the budget, but resolutions and other business are often attached to the budget. The key here is that Congress had to agree to the executive order banning offshore drilling and did so by caveat. Now that the order has been lifted Congress need not do anything to open those leases up to the oil companies. The absence of action is action." - Karoli
