Another of my Dad's editorials, this one from a few weeks ago on the Bush plan to allow oil exploration to ruin the plain where wildlife graze and mate in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. CNN says there is a new government study out today on the destructive effects of the plan, so it looks like there could be a real fight in Congress over this thing. I'm really not sure what stage it has gotten to, but we Americans could make our voices heard by writing our congressmen. Maria HEAD: Energy policies need concern for environment

Yes, I too have heard that this one may be up for a battle in Congress ... and given the groundswell of pressure against the repressive and irresponsible executive measures relating to the "War on Terrorism" that it seems certain Bush is going to face in the near future (given at least a few members of Congress starting to make serious waves, and a #1 bestseller giving the lie to America's "unanimous support" for the war effert!) this could be one measure that will be comparatively easy to get him to back down on, since it wouldn't involve any backpedaling or admission of wrongdoing about the terrorist business.  Love, Greg
