Why Do ANYTHING?

Since it won't help you right this minute? Environmental extremists say we shouldn't drill in ANWR because it will be ten years before we see any increased supply from it. If we followed that advice in other things, we would never plant a crop; never get married; never do ANYTHING because it won't give us "instant gratification." But did you see what happened the minute Bush threw out the Executive Order banning drilling in the U. S.? Oil prices immediately started downward, just on the POSSIBILITY of us drilling in the U. S. That action caused the Sheiks to wet their robes and OPEC increased its production. I think their thinking is wrong; we don't NEED to see "increased production" right now. Just the POSSIBILITY will cause oil prices to go down. (Common Sense)
