He Had Me At Hello

In this article, a reporter interviews a republican from Alaska who refers to "environmental evangelists", "easterners", and who wants to turn Alaska into the world's largest Walmart parking lot.

He's coming to New York for the GOP convention. Big surprise, considering he calls himself a Christian, son of a Christian, with five Christian children. He complains that Alaska is more than large enough for decades of development, and only the the clautrophobic new yorkers want it preserved. I sort of saw his point, that perhaps the 1500 residents in North Pole, Alaska could hardly cause enough damage in the 365 million acres of Alaskan frontier. After all, even if they each had a 50,000 square foot house--slightly bigger than Bill Gate's house--thats only 7,500,000 square feet.

So anyway, I was beginning to see his point. Then he referred to the earth as "God's Bounty".

So I say to you Doug Isaacson, go back to Alaska and die on the cold, cold tundra. If you want a strip mall in your back yard, you are more than welcome in the garden state.
