Now seems like a silly time to start drilling in the ANWR. It's a strategic oil reserve. It was originally set aside for a time when we would need it, and now is clearly not that time.

If we were in dire need of oil, we as a nation wouldn't be able to waste so much of it in wildly ineffecient vehicles that for the most part serve no real utilitarian purpose. Many of the people with the most inefficient vehicles in this country could be just as well-served in something smaller.

Oil is used for many things that are more important than average people driving around. It seems like it would be smarter, for now, to simply let the prices rise than to tap into a reserve we might really need in the future.

Well, there's my pocket change on that!
