There are extremists in all walks of life. Read a Tom Clancy book one time (forget which title) where the environmental extremists were engaged in significant, violent terrorism. The book painted clearly how completely insane this fictional group was being, and the punchline of the book is that the "good guys" managed to force them into their jungle headquarters (of course with all its backup generators, supplies, and so forth), then (and I can't recall how, but it was very clever) make them put all their clothes in a pile and step outside the building which was then destroyed. So, they got what they supposedly wanted -- to be back to pure nature with none of the comfort trappings they had come accustomed to yet railed against - naked and totally dependent on what they could accomplish with their brains and hands.

I agree with MM's post below. Human nature seems to dictate knee-jerk reactions to events like this. Should it have happened? From what I read it shouldn't. Is it reason to ban offshore drilling? Only if we want to continue to bleed our wealth to those more pragmatic nations and companies who keep drilling. On the Bloomberg energy web page today it was announced the Brazilians just found another 318 million barrels under the sea.....

I find it rather comical and shameful at the same time that the liberals in Massachusetts want clean energy but don't want wind farms off Cape Cod...I guess they want green energy as long as it is at someone else's expense.

Cheers,
