Nebraska, Kansas, etc.; you might want to think about pushing up those already inevitable dates for converting to dry land crops.

safe drinking water. What does the Gov. Jerry Brown that help promote safer alternative energy in California say about this…

Fracking is a crime against humanity. All that $$$ spent on extracting gas while wrecking the water, soil, & air could be spent on building alternative energy source infrastructures. If the oil industry hadn't bought our politicians. If private financing of campaigns & lobbyists didn't direct our policies...

fatting up their bank accounts, never mind the other living creatures including us.

Forever irreparable damage to our natural aquafiers. But our own government and these fricking corporationist plebs doesn't give any sh*t about it.

the fascism/corporatism in the air?

I do not think it means what you think it means...

me, don't post cute pictures.

no reply to my request....well when you have a term to explain the situation in this country I'll continue to use those definitions, which IMO are ever changing and not locked into what they were 70 to 80 years ago SMH

we were off for my birthday brunch.

I was trying to suggest that the people (EPA and state gov't) using the term 'protected' when referring to the aquifer don't seem to know what the word means if they allowed it to be fouled by the toxic sludge resulting from fracking.

sP

jumped to a conclusion about the photo I thought it was about my other post. Sleep is a good thing and lack of it is bad and this past week or so it's been the latter for me. I hope you had a great brunch and I wish you Happy Birthday!!!!!

very easy to mistake meaning here... i should have been more clear.

thank you for the birthday wishes... it was a good one!

The mating song of the bought politician....

The mistakes were not made on the part of the oil companies. They KNEW what they were doing. The mistakes were made on the part of the politicians that allowed them to contaminate the aquifers. Like the detonation of an atomic bomb, it cannot be reversed or cancelled. Unlike the detonation of an atomic bomb, it was done for one reason and one reason alone: money.

When you kill someone with a knife or a gun on the street and take their money, you go to jail or get the death penalty. Because this affects millions and they will die slowly instead of right away, is that a reason to let the perps off without so much an an arrest?

Reminds me of that passage from The Godfather where they talk about how the best kind of business is the one that makes new business for itself.

the problems for sure, money makes the world go around the world go around......

This industry has no boundaries, no soul… The brain of it is directly connected to it's colon.

State officials of California should take big straws and suck this stuff back into their gullet.
