If there's any sort of emeregeny, we need another escape route. Also, since you are soo against using oil, have you considered how much oil, gas, pollution, etc will be saved if the a bridge is put in? It will cut the travel down by half. How is that bad for ANYONE?? <BR/>I'm not huge on sucking out all the oil of ANWR, but it is INACCESSIBLE to most of the human race so preserving the Pristine beauty isn't really the issue. Its deeper than that. I definately believe we need to start looking for different, earth friendly resources and cutting down on TRAFFIC from the Valley to Anchorage will help the cause. Pisses me off, the bridges to Nowhere is just a red herring to get the focus off the real issue and is purely political.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05323070439232848154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-1135447172752998782005-12-24T10:59:00.000-07:002005-12-24T10:59:00.000-07:00My sentiments exatcly!

Although I have only been able to see it in pictures, and on TV, I feel that the Alaskan wilderness is one of the last truly magnificent places on earth.<BR/><BR/>I'll give up my car too.

I think these books are so important that I've lent my copies out.
