What pro-drillers want is to ruin this wildlife refuge in order tyo extract a fuel that poisons the air and environment. Thats two wrongs for those who are counting. What is the benifit for this wrong? A tiny little drop in a global bucket that will have basically no effect on our oil reserves.

So, you're not so much opposed to drilling in ANWR, you're opposed to fossil fuel driven power, right? I suspect that if that "tiny drop in the global bucket" was the drop keeping your family from freezing to death in the winter, you MIGHT change your mind. You say it's our responsibility to not knowingly kill entire species. I'd disagree with you. There are some species that SHOULD be exterminated. Mosquitos and fleas come to mind, simply because they can and routinely do transmit disease.

He was being ironic. He's ironic a lot, actually. There is irony in the name of the performance even.

I dunno...the part when he's talking about representing angry gun-toting meat-eating people seems pretty straight-forward to me...
