Before You Vote

The common problem among political parties is what they offer is not theirs to give.For example a politician can't offer equality when reality demonstrates constantly that we are known by our differences.Another example would be trading pure water for trapped oil and gas and then claiming it enriches all.

What's Next if We Survive Fracking?

New York State is close to allowing fracking. Fracking is the process which combines chemicals, sands and high pressure water to break down underground shale to release the trapped natural gas. What could possibly go wrong? It's a new process that disregards older common sense . Why would one deliberately undermine the foundations of the surface of the earth and risk contaminating vital water supplies? Money is the answer. Of course the proponents argue that safeguards are put in place to protect underground aquifers. I.E. no fracking within 500 feet of a known water source. Oh! Do the chemicals, sand and other subteranean bacteria know to keep out of the underground water pools.

Ever have a leaky roof? Sometimes one doesn't know what part of the roof the water is leaking from. Because water moves and moves swiftly through large and small cracks. In fact fracking creates its own cracks by definition where the gas comes out as the water goes in! Gee, then what? For a long time , we use potable water to flush our excrement away so why not take it one step further and use non-potable fracked water to flush our toilets? Maybe we can then liquify the gas and boil off the impurities in the fracked water so we can then have potable again?

Sound like another frivolous primate misadventure?
