the footprint of the area they would drill is about the size of one of our airports, in a state as huge as alaska....where virtually no one lives and nobodies backyards would have oil wells in.

Secession anyone?

I've seen enough of Alaska on the Discovery Channel recently to understand that the State of Alaska is out to kill humans. Thus, we should drill for it's sweet, sweet, oil as retribution.

What would happen if liberty activists got control of Alaskan politics and voted for secession? Would the Federal govt. roll in tanks to seize the oil reserves?....Could the folly of Abe Lincoln repeat itself by sending troops against it citizens to "preserve" the union?
