We don't need those jobs............. or that oil

This is what I've never understood about those who oppose drilling in the gulf.

Why?

It's not like the environmental hazards of drilling are eliminated. Especially if the other countries in the gulf are going to drill anyway.............

Somewhere between here and China, a hulking, hungry oil rig dubbed “Scarabeo 9” is making its way across the oceans, preparing to put a very controversial hole deep in the Gulf of Mexico.

To nervous Floridians, even its name suggests “scare,” or “scar.” It will puncture the sea floor in Cuban-controlled waters just 60 miles off the Florida Keys, not far from a protected coastline where offshore drilling is banned under U.S. law.

But hey, it's not like we need the jobs or anything.............
