Apparently.
You'll recall we were told to forget 9/11 a while the towers were still smoldering, and "begin the healing". Democrats need to take their own advice.
Of course. 40 years ago there was a house fire, we banned those. Wasn't there an assassiation or two? We banned politicians. I think there might have been a few bank failures along the way, too. Banks? Banned.
Of course, the real reason dems and liberals at large oppose drilling is simple. What liberals truly oppose is personal success, since their Marxist system feeds off of popular discontent.
