		<description>As a follow-up to my (01:10:28) post. I made a phone call to Chevron last night. This morning after hearing there were more eruptions I talked to people in both Senator Boxers office and well as speaking to someone in Gov. Schwarzenegger Office saying nothing was being done based on the internet stories coming from people on the ground in AK. I asked them to please &#039;take action &#039;.

My very LAST phone call was actually to your GINO.. the number was posted under the story.
Your Gov&#039;s call was the MOST interesting. I told my story to the first operator. I was put on hold for about a minute. When someone picked up again it was a brand new person... much younger. Since I was talking to a NEW person I asked if I needed to start all over with my Question..? I repeated to the second person what I said before. Her attitude to me was (a little snippy )...we are working on it. Rather than yake it seriously she was all defensive and wanted to blow me off..&quot;we are working on it&quot;
The cavalier attitude and/or defensive posture was totally different than the call to both my Senator or Governor&#039;s Office. I guess this is that &#039;folksy&#039; way your GINO does business and operates.... Yu.. betcha.
I do feel sorry for Alaskans.</description>

		<description>What idiot would build storage tanks at the base of a volcano?
And, what idiot in State Goverment would allow this?
I sure hope that Alaska gets a piece of the Stim Bill for education. But, then again, you can&#039;t teach common sense.</description>

		<description>I think Gov. jingle is correct in his assessment, that monitoring volcano activity is a waste of time and resources.

Gino proves the point. Why bother, if you aren&#039;t going to do anything with this information.

 We need a system that can override stupidity, insensitivity, and the shear lack of common sense.

		<description>I emailed Gov. Palin as well as a note off to the Chevron email address.

Right  after, that both Senators Feinstein, Boxer as well as Governor Schwarzenegger got an email. As bad as a spill up there would be bad for all of AK it would eventually hit CA beaches as well. They have an interest in making sure nothing bad happens.
Wouldn&#039;t that be embarrassing to GINO if she was forced to do something because pressure was applied from outside the State...?  ;-)</description>

		<description>This does not bode well. What a coincidence that another oil disaster is looming so near to the Valdez anniversary.

I don&#039;t think people are going to wait 20 years of &#039;court&#039; this time around. 

I was going to address star24&#039;s letter, but realistically, don&#039;t expect the Governor to do anything, again. A human disaster was looming in the Yukon Delta villages months and months ago and if it wasn&#039;t for bloggers sending food and money for fuel, those people wouldn&#039;t make it to spring. 

The Alaskan Governor did nothing to avert that disaster and when goaded into doing something, brought cookies and evangelicals. There was no declaration of an emergency, no state airlift of provisions — nothing. Yet, it was all in her power to organize something more than a photo shoot.

Now tell me what&#039;s so different with this issue?

She isn&#039;t going to do squat. She actually believes that taking action in times of crises reflects poorly on her. It&#039;s sad, but true. In this case, there are the oil companies she wants to inveigle. oops, conflicted much?

Guess we&#039;ll have to do it ourselves, once again. Oh it&#039;ll embarrass the hell out of her and she&#039;ll do anything to thwart taking some concrete preventative measures ensuring that those oil tanks don&#039;t rupture and flood everything in oil.

That oil has to be moved, immediately, by all means necessary, no ands ifs or buts or alsos. If the Pompeiian&#039;s had volcano detection, would they have evacuated the city? Knowing of imminent danger is one thing, doing something about it is another.

They say the dinosaur became extinct because of a radical change in climate.

The human race may become extinct when we can&#039;t live off the polluted land anymore. Future archaeologists won&#039;t guess that it were the laws and money which lead to the extinction.

Praying things will work out just doesn&#039;t cut it, Palin. Now move it or face your recall, you haven&#039;t been doing your job, for all of the people of Alaska.</description>
