Columnist George Will is on to something here.
“Democracy,” said H.L. Mencken, “is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.”…Disqualified from complaining are all voters who sent to Washington senators and representatives who have voted to keep ANWR’s oil in the ground, and who voted to put 85 percent of America’s offshore territory off-limits to drilling. The U.S. Minerals Management Service says that restricted area contains perhaps… 10 times the oil and 20 times the natural gas Americans use in a year.
Inertia Wins!
