    This is one of those United Nations power grabs to redistribute wealth worldwide. It has been around in some form since 1982 and the United States has had the good sense to say no. Unfortunately, Obama and several current politicians seem to think that giving away control of everything from drilling to any source of revenue we generate through the ocean is a good idea. I guess this discussion will be on C-Span this morning. I have heard a few interviews with people that know a heck of a lot more than us lay people ever would and to a person they say this is beyond a terrible idea. We give virtually everything away with no return benefit to us. Sounds like another scam we better hope fails. If it wasn't for us, the U.N. couldn't exist. Hopefully, we don't give up control of our destiny and allow the U.N. to make decisions for us.

    You have a bunch of crack pot tea party types including Fox News who take your position Sandy, then you have this guy who actually has to defend this country who supports it.

    You guys are all about "drill baby drill" yet those companies who do the drilling are reluctant to drill out there with out our position being defined.

    The only explanation is paranoia and propaganda.

    I read about this in a science magazine. It had an article about economics, drilling etc. As I said, I have only heard a couple of comments, one of which was a guest on the Hedgecock show. I haven't heard anything on Fox news about it and it certainly isn't mentioned in the main stream press. I think it is worth finding out about. What little I have read and heard isn't beneficial to our country. I trust nothing that comes out of the U.N. The track record is beyond poor.
