#4 Hell no! Florida has an enormous steak in protecting it's beaches and it's many thousands of $9.00/hr hotel and resturant jobs. Chaley Crips, SpaceMan Nelson and the other fella are all against drilling off Florida. Thank Gawd we can agree on something. Yawl keep coming on down to Orlando tho, it's nice and not so crowded right now. Srsly.

#5 IF I had my druthers, it wouldn't hurt y'all or the tourists to fide y'all's bicycles to the hotel room or the o so important jobs bussing tables. And maybe turn ~~down~~ off the AC. It'll make the tourist experience less decadently capitalist and more in accord with Ye Olde Marxist Bromides.

Maybe also send all your tip money to Raoul for the full effect, if you think it's good enough for other people, it should be good enough for y'all.

#7 You cold hearted son of a Gorilla! We have thousands and thousands of folks depending on our precious beaches. $9/hr might not sound like much to a freak like yourself (with all due respect) but around here it's big bucks. Soons as they start drilling for oil the first thing to hit the service boats are the good cooks, then it's every custodian is a deckhand being overpaid in a job destroying the environment and letting loose bad ideas amongst our service workers.

#8 In my experience, George, the people who as deckhands ruthlessly pollute the environment, in spite of whatever their management wants, are the type to do so no matter what their job is. I have SERIOUSLY not only talked to, but employed (having not found out until it was too late) people who bragged about having cost their previous employer some tens of thousands of dollars in fees by emptying various toxic bilge contents into the ocean because they were pissed off at their boss about something.

#9 We could just drill on our side of the Florida Straits, but no-o-o-o-o-o

Not to worry, eventually the Cubans will drill there.
