I am in no way saying that you should feel sorry for EXXON for having to pay for the clean up. I'm merely saying you can't make a company a complete villain for the event either. Now as far as my vacation, this was the time line of events. We started the trip with a 5 day 4 night fishing charter. Captain Ron's Alaska Adventures it was a great time with a great crew. Of which I asked members of the crew of their opinion of the Exxon situation. (Since we were out in the Prince William Sound, it seemed fitting.) We then spent 5 days camping at different state parks in the region. Shoup Bay and Jack Bay SMP where we actually discussed it with members of the State Park service, again they applauded their clean-up efforts. We then ended our trip where it started in Anchorage. We enjoyed a great bar called Humpy's Great Alaskan Alehouse, and stayed at the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel. I have no problem working politics (as it's my job) into any conversation, and since we were from the south most people noticed our accent. So thus we got questions about our trip, and I would ask my own questions in return. We actually got the idea for the trip from watching old camping shows on PBS, and seeing an episode of Insomniac with Dave Attell. Now, If my interrogation is over, I have a some questions. Where in AK do you live? Have you ever been to PWS? How often do you discuss this with people? Can somebody have a conversation with you, and not feel like they are being judged? (I ask this because I want to know if people will give you an honest answer, or tell you what you want to hear?) Do you hang out with anyone else that is not inside liberal circles? I never said that the fishing industry had completely recoverd, I never said that Exxon was a hero. I never said that people were praising them for spilling oil, but in fairness thought the company did a good job in the clean up stage. I was merely pointing out that they didn't just run away from the accident. Also I'm just merely stating what clean-up experts say, that clean-up price is not as big a deal, as it's not effective. Nature cleaning up the rest is however more effective. I'm not claiming that AK didn't suffer. I'm stating that the oil industry has gotten smarter and cleaner. I support the drilling off of the shore of my own state, and don't have a fear of anything horrible happening. The strides made by oil companies on the safety side is very impressive. Stating that nobody in AK likes Exxon is more extreme than managing to talk to roughly .000035% of the population.
