Not so easy plugging it up is it?

It should be internationally illegal to drill that deep. These criminals lust can't resist opening Pandora's box because it has a few shiny gold pieces on top. Ok, that's just how criminals are but what business does the US government have colluding with them and granting them permission?

William F Buckley has a saying I totally agree with: " I am obliged to confess I should sooner live in a society governed by the first two thousand names in the Boston telephone directory than in a society governed by the two thousand faculty members of Harvard University." Our (cough) public servants are so out of touch, so corrupted by lobbyists, so dazzled by spreadsheets showing them how to keep the empire alive that they've lost all common sense.
