Bull****. That is the crap they sold you for your puny vote and
confidence.

I
don't want my government selling off the rights for a buck an acre, or
something close. As an owner, like you, it's worth much more to me as
it is right now. Just the pleasure of knowing it is there, in that
condition, is worth more to me than what I would get out of selling
off the rights to develop it. On a purely free market basis, if
nothing else, I'm not selling it because all of the offers have been
FAR below what I consider the actual value to be to me.

So first you talk about the guvmint essentially siezing the land, and
next you talk about selling on a "pure free market basis."
Interesting.

Those 3rd world residents were on his land before he got there. They
gotta go.

While I've slipped in comments to older posts/attrib's before, I
almost always leave the attrib markers in place. This time I did not
slip in a comment to an older Ben posting, nor did I misplace my
comment according to the attrib markers.

Back to the point: It is a confidence game.

On rbr we refer to it as tapping unless it involves a female climate
scientist in which case it is referred to as nailing.

Not sure if I would've supported buying/taking ANWR, but now that I,
through my involuntary contribution, own it, and I'm gonna pretend the
system might work, then I'm happier treating it like a painting on a
wall. Just as much fun to look at and does a lot more good though.
Once in a while, if enough of us scream at them, they actually listen.
They took our money, they bought it, we own it.

Once you've nailed a chick who understands baroclinic torque and her own
Coriolis forcing, you'll never go back. Or so I'm told.
