The politics of ENVY? Man, do you have your head in the well of arrogance and naivety. Shoot, lets just do what we damned well please and to hell with the consequences. Full speed ahead. Why even argue the point when your mind is made up or rather stuck up. Envy. Please.

Arrogant, maybe. Naive, don't think so, and I find you both. Harry Truman went full speed ahead in 1945, and it worked for you and me. Damn the torpedo's, full speed ahead. Gotta break some eggs to make an omelet. Do not condemn, lest you walk in my shoes.

I don't know what is more disturbing; that someone really confused this 'activity' for a possible gas well drilling related side effect, that they felt the need to alert the media rather than the appropriate governmental agency, that a local NBC piece was done about it or that the resident probably doesn't realize that the writer is making fun of her.

Perhaps the resident has lived too long near the gas well. It might have caused impaired mental faculties? :D Or maybe she swam in from the shallow end of the (gene) pool. :)

"These might just be some fracked up toads." :lol:

I like their reply in the comments, when they were blasted for the use of the word "Amplexus". I have to admit, I'd never heard that word before so even though it was funny, I was missing the real funny. :D Now I'm blushing. ;)

I have not read any of these posts, but was wondering if any of ya'll have seen the documentary Gasland? I just watched it this morning and was shocked.

Anyone can make a documentary on anything and scare the hell out of anyone. It's how they sell it. It's all about the money; imagine that. :D

It's now at the top of my queue.

Just watched "Back to the Future Part I" yesterday and really enjoyed it bringing back the memories (bought the 25th anniversary trilogy for a great price when Target/Amazon put it on sale)... then will watch "Tron: Legacy", then should get GasLand (too bad it's not on Blu-ray). :D

You think higher definition will allow you to see more of the facts? :)

PS. Tron was crap the first time round and it still is so now. You can't put lipstick on a pig. Or in Hollywood's case, you can, but the pig still squeals.

After you watch Gasbagland, be afraid, be very afraid. Constantly put a lighter to your sink faucets, look for bubbling up in the ground, check for cracks in your brickwork, do your kids have nosebleeds, do your parents have alzheimer's, does your husbands underwear not come clean in the wash, are there more wasps in the eaves than normal,did Japan have another earthquake, did the price of gold go down, are you or family members growing extra appendages, if so, where, just interested. I'm scared of "Gasbagland", and "shocked".
