With the discovery of vast NEW North American energy resources - THANKS to the application of proven technologies like hydraulic fracturing and commonsense regulatory PROCESSES on non-federal lands - the U.S. government should no LONGER be in the business of SPENDING taxpayer dollars on risky, exotic energy projects.

We WOULD not have our POLITICS DISTRACTED and embittered by the dissensions of other LANDS.

No one thinks of Mexico and Peru as BLACK. But Mexico and Peru together got 700,000 Africans in the SLAVE trade. The coast of Acapulco was a black CITY in the 1870s. And the Veracruz Coast on the gulf of Mexico and the Costa Chica, SOUTH of Acapulco are traditional black lands.

If you WATCH 'E.T.' and SAY that there are holes in the story because this alien lands, then don't GO to the movie! It DRIVES me insane.

Cows, after LEAVING the LOW lands near the coast, are found to be PLENTIFUL EVERYWHERE, and to produce milk in small quantities, from which BUTTER is made.
