It's horrible what happened in the Gulf of Mexico on April 20th, but we can not let the BP oil rig explosion and oil spill be an excuse to stop future drilling off our own shores. Are the waters and shorelines around the United States anymore precious than waters around other countries' shorelines? If this happened in another part of the world would the people there consider closing off their waters to future drilling. Of course not! The US government, our radical green groups and their pandering politician friends are the only ones who would entertain such selfish thoughts. (This reminds The Skirt of our government's narrow-minded law to use people food and the world's precious farmland to grow fuel to power American cars, but I digress.) The United States still needs oil and gas and we need it to flow in from sources other than those in the Middle East. We must continue to place our land and our citizens at risk to obtain it. An opinion writer with USA Today is simpatico.
