We told readers to go down to a level of 10,000 feet and look around.

Uh, didn't your oil industry shills already push this laughable explanation some 6 months ago? It was preposterous then and it's preposterous now. In contrast, I look really good from 10,000 feet, so you really can't see what the Roan plateau looks like at that altitude either.
The altitude of the Roan Plateau is 9,000 feet. If you "fly" over it at an altitude of 10,000 feet, third grade math suggests that you are only 1,000 feet over the terrain. If there were anything but scrub land, you would see it at that altitude. A picture is worth 1,000 words. We simply want folks to go look at the picture. You don't.
Your screen name is Absurdicus and your argument is intentionally absurd, intentionally misleading.
We expect that you are not so stupid that you can't do third grade math. That makes you a willing part of the Big Blue Lie Machine. Mark Udall is tarnished by these kinds of lies by his supporters. It happens so often that we have a tag for it: "Big Blue Lie Machine."

Tell me what it's like on your planet/basement?
Boy Howdy. Apparently my entire argument is lost because of my mistake of elevation. God forbid I would assume elevation above the earth was not normalized to elevation above ground level. That wasn't my argument.
Despite my basic math mistake, the argument that at 1000 feet a piece of land should be drilled on just because it doesn't look "pretty" is still my argument. Please address my point, that just because it looks ugly at any distance it should be drilled and drunk up like a milkshake. I would think if I look great at 1000 feet, I look really great at 10,000 feet. It still has nothing to do with whether or not my face should be drunk up like a milk shake by Daniel Plainview.
Beyond ad hominem attacks on my chosen blog name, why don't you try to address my point? I think it has something to do with Grandpa McGrumpy's basic premise that he likely wants every inch of land to be drilled on because he's paying too much for the gasoline in his Hummer.
Thank you, I do so enjoy these chats.
Hugs and kisses,
