Earth won't mind if we take some oil, it'll take some time, but it'll rebuild itself just fine. Only problem is people who care too much. Earth doesn't care. People taking the oil don't care. People using the oil don't care. Dogs don't care. The only party that cares, is those that care too much.
I'm not saying it's cool to go destroy earth, cause I'm sure we could. But this is something so small in the grand scheme of earth and it's entire existence, it's like a bit of dust falling onto your shoulder and then beeing blown away with the slightest air movement. You'd never even notice it.
i would notice if yosemite went "missing" so no, i dont agree with you. i dont want you to take me the wrong way though dude, i just have strong feelings about nature so sometimes i get pissed. aside from the fact they are going to drill, i think its pretty damn shady that those bastards had to cheat to win. what happend to democracy? guess its a lost hope in america.
