I know it may seem unlikely to some, but reckless oil disposal has been a problem for decades up there, particularly on the Russian side of the ocean, and it still continues today. And given just how massive in scale this problem has been, one has to wonder just how much of an effect it's also had on Arctic ice melt, on top of wildlife.....

and THEN they could go ahead with the craziest plan imaginable - deep sea drilling in the most remote places on Earth, so that WHEN the problems come (and they are 100% GUARANTEED to have MANY, MANY problems) at least the rest of us can be paid up front.

I am so sick and tired of seeing people who do NOTHING, contribute NOTHING, care about NOTHING (other than $ that is) get filthy, stinking rich and the rest of us get the goddamn bill on our backs and the backs of our children's children's children.

You wanna "drill baby drill"???
Then PAY, BABY PAY!!!!!
