>>Spelling out the acronym should provide the first clue. ANWR stands for Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. It is federally protected land and Congressional approval is required before oil exploration can occur.

>>Who was this "Alaskan representative"? In bed with the oil companies, no doubt.

>Get a grip Mike. :) Have you watched Ice Road Truckers? I recommend it. This season they were hauling everything imaginable back and forth. After the drills found natural gas, everything had to be cleaned up so that it was as pristine as before. Sheesh, they even hauled away dirty snow by the tuckload...

>You should watch it. You'll get a kick out of the accents... (You should recognize it) :o) It takes place in the NorthWest Territories.
Who knows, maybe I will.
Your message popped an old song into my head, written by the Man in Black himself ---
Now this here's the story about the Rock Island Line
The Rock Island Line she runs down into New Orleans
And just outside of New Orleans is a big toll gate
And all the trains that go through the toll gate
They gotta pay the man some money
But of course, if you got certain things on board
You're okay and you don't have to pay the man nothin
And just now we see a change comin down the line
When you come up to the toll gate
The driver, he shout down to the man
I got pigs, I got horses, I got cows
I got sheep, I got all livestock, I got all livestock
I got all livestock
The man say, you alright boy just
Get on through, you don't have to pay me nothin
And then the train go through
And when he go through the tollgate
The train gotta have a little bit of steam
And a little bit of speed
And when the driver think he safely on the other side
He shouts back down the line to the man
I fooled you, I fooled you
I got pig iron, I got pig iron
I got all pig iron
