People need to stand up and start fighting this and stop putting hope in animal groups who, although with a great cause, arenot doing anything in terms of succeeding against these crimes. People say that non alaskans shouldn't butt into alaska's business, but I don't think they even know how to handle what they have. They publically voted out aerial gunning of wolves (mind you, breaking the FAHA treaty, but that's a different other bush related sad story), and when murkowski went and allowed it anyway their public outrage became 'meh' and just let them walk all over them.

I dunno how, but if this nation's environment and security is going to be protected, I think it needs to be from the american peoples' voices, and not exxon or this administration. My grandfather was a head manager at exxon during that whole thing and the guy's a friggen rotten jerk, now a drunkard. I don't think people like that should be deciding our country, and regardless of people saying we shouldn't get involved in other states' battles, they're gonna effect the whole of this country one state at a time...

Is it really possible for anything to be done at this point? I hope someone out there knows a good answer. Related to a guy who was so money hungry he helped the first terrible oilspills there (exxon), I really hope there's more out there with the knowledge of those horrible days who stand up to it. I don't want to see another disaster like that and sadly I don't think it's avoidable :(
