Someone raves about 50 grand....
Deary me, what a rant that guy does, but ppl voted for lots of those
ppl he wants deaded. Or if they didn't, they bought stuff made by companies owned by them. Anyway, while democracy is the way it is, **** will still happen. I was appalled the other evening to see a documentary film about the vast number of gas wells being put into huge rural areas in the US. The fracking used 496 chemicals which poison water tables from which ppl get their water. People can't drink the water. Gas comes out the water taps, plus a frightful toxic stink! People are getting sick, animals too. The EPA was not allowed to regulate any of it. Now they want to frack vast areas in Oz to get gas and a **** fight is going on here too. Just when ppl say how marvellous it'd be to use gas instead of coal it seems many ppl will be trampled down. Dick Cheney and Haliburton were mentioned often in the film. Maybe the US is so near going broke it has to stop paying for oil imports and go for whatever else it can, and if that means ****ing up the environment to get gas, then I understand - another unsolvable dilemna. Sometimes I get ****ed about the status quo but I'm powerless. Patrick Turner. |

Below, Flipper completetly refutes everything I said which I have seen
happen in films about fracking. in Oz, there are companies trying to put in gas wells using fracking and guess what, local people and farmers et all HATE THESE ****Z !!!!!!! I KNEW Fipper would be sucked into what I said. I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN, so its pointless to argue with Flipper. He should have known that I would have known. But if Flipper's wife had got sick and couldn't drink the water from the well, then perhaps it'd be a completely different story. Maybe Fliiper owns shared in Haliburton ****z Incorporated. Maybe Flipper thinks Dick ****in Cheney is a saint. But I see the USA is in Deap ****te right now, arguments about extending the borrowing limits go on, looming uncertainty, trillions wasted in the ME, so watch out World! And if the US has to impose austerity measures then expect all environmental concerns that cost money to be abandoned. Good luck America, you'll need it.

I was appalled the other evening to see a documentary film No, you saw hysterical propaganda that was 'called' a 'documentary'. about the vast number of gas wells being put into huge rural areas in the US. Actually, the 'propaganda' cropped up when they expanded into more populated areas. Fracking has been going on since at least 1948. The fracking used 496 chemicals Crap. That is like saying your toothbrush 'uses' 496 kinds of plastic because over the history of toothbrush manufacturing different types by different manufacturers have used different plastics. Out of all the fracking wells drilled over the past 60+ years there may have been up to 496 'chemicals' used at one time or another but no individual well uses "496 chemicals," the word itself a bugaboo term since things like guar gum (the most commonly used 'additive'), an emulsifier more commonly found in ice cream, are counted as 'chemicals'. which poison water tables from which ppl get their water. Pure crap. Fracking takes place thousands of feet below any formations that carry potable water and is separated from them by thousands of feet of impermeable rock. People can't drink the water. Gas comes out the water taps, plus a frightful toxic stink! People are getting sick, animals too. More crap. The alleged 'contaminated' examples were thoroughly investigated by regulatory agencies and shown to NOT come from gas well drilling but 'natural' sources. The EPA was not allowed to regulate any of it. Again, crap. The film asserts "“The energy task force, and $100 million lobbying effort on behalf of the industry, were significant in the passage of the ‘Halliburton Loophole’ to the Safe Drinking Water Act, which authorizes oil and gas drillers exclusively to inject known hazardous materials, unchecked, directly into or adjacent to underground drinking water supplies. It passed as part of the Bush administration’s Energy Policy Act of 2005.” Not a word of it is true. In the first place, the Clean Water Act never, in it's entire existence, applied to "fracking" so there was nothing to 'remove' nor 'loophole' to make. And that's because the Clean Water Act regulates surface waters and surface discharge into surface waters. Fracking takes place thousands upon thousands of feet underground and thousands upon thousands of feet below any formations that carry potable water so, since there is no 'discharge' into water, surface OR underground, there is nothing to 'regulate' under the Clean Water Act. Fracking is regulated by the States. The idea that ANY form of legislation could pass the House, Senate, and be signed by any Presidential, not to mention get past every State regulatory agency in the country, which "authorizes oil and gas drillers exclusively to inject known hazardous materials, unchecked, directly into or adjacent to underground drinking water supplies" is so patently absurd as to be enough on it's own to expose the film as the fear mongering hokum bunkum crap it is. Now they want to frack vast areas in Oz to get gas and a **** fight is going on here too. Just when ppl say how marvellous it'd be to use gas instead of coal it seems many ppl will be trampled down. Dick Cheney and Haliburton were mentioned often in the film. Lots of pure crappola was "mentioned" in the film and the most generous summary of it would be a classic case of "ignorant idiots scaring the ignorant." But, considering the near trivial ease it is to find the information they claim is 'unavailable', I'm not inclined to be so generous. Maybe the US is so near going broke it has to stop paying for oil imports and go for whatever else it can, and if that means ****ing up the environment to get gas, then I understand - another unsolvable dilemna. There is no 'dilemma' because the allegations are crap. Sometimes I get ****ed about the status quo but I'm powerless. Patrick Turner.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

Gas in your drinking water . . .- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - The gas industry reckons it can trample down all those sons and daughters of bitches who live lazy out in the middle of knowhwere. **** the little man and his missus and their rights; the DOLLAR must be worshipped even if business has to trade with the devil. The End justifies the Means. That used to be the justification for command socialism which was so despised by capitalists, and hated by ordinary ppl where it happened so that command socialism was abandoned in East germany and Soviet Empire. But there we are with the Land of The Free acting just as ****atiously as any of the rabid socialists. Don't worry, Be happy. I know ppl who said the USA won in Vietnam, 'cos the US killed 3,000,000 gooks and "we only lost 50,000." But communism prevailed in Vietnam. Not only that, Communism in China has led its version of Chinese Capitalism to improve the lives of a billion Chinese so much so that their efforts might eclipse anything the USA might do. Mind you, I don't see what the Chinese have to crow about because they look like becoming rather too Nationalistic, and very dangerous, IMHO, like the Nazis, because the fundementals of democracy are missing, ie, minorities are given human rights. The USA must be prepared to fade like Britain after WW2, because about 3 billion Indian&Chinese people are on the rise, and building very large armies, navies and air forces. My commiserations, Always look on the Bright Side of life. Obama should learn to tell more jokes - to keep 'em smilin'. Patrick Turner. |

Hitler did it, Oliver Stone did it in JFK, and these jerks did it. Quite amazing how well Flipper is informed. Thank you but there's not really any 'amazing secret' to it, just some simple rules and techniques. 1. Don't blindly take anything at face value. 2. Always look for both, or all, sides of a dispute. 3. Look for verifiable references/sources. 4. Fact check all parties, including given references/sources. 5. Do your own research. 6. Check your own prejudices. And do so before spouting off. It does help if one is familiar with common propaganda techniques but some are covered in the above rules, like making claims with no sources, or misrepresenting sources, and selective/skewed presentations of only, or mostly, one side. And though I could tell, from the techniques used in the alleged 'documentary' itself, that it was a propaganda piece I researched before posting even if for no other reason than to check my own 'inclination'. From the EPAs own website. http://www.epa.gov/regulations/laws/cwa.html "The Clean Water Act (CWA) establishes the basic structure for regulating discharges of pollutants into the waters of the United States and regulating quality standards for surface waters." "Under the CWA, EPA has implemented pollution control programs such as setting wastewater standards for industry. We have also set water quality standards for all contaminants in surface waters." From the COGCC report on the 'inflammatory' faucet in Colorado http://cogcc.state.co.us/cogis/Compl..._num=200190138 "Resolution: Dissolved methane in well water appears to be biogenic in origin. Tests were positive for iron related bacteria and sulfate reducing bacteria. There are no indications of oil & gas related impacts to water well." The, so called, 'documentary' also implies, by misrepresenting the Clean Water Act, that the EPA 'does nothing' regarding alleged facking contamination, which is also not true. Again from the publicly available EPA website a 2004 study of the issue. http://www.epa.gov/ogwdw000/uic/pdfs...onclusions.pdf From Chapter 7; Conclusions. "Under SDWA, EPA’s UIC Program is responsible for ensuring that fluids injected into the ground do not endanger USDWs. The goal of the Phase I study was to assess the potential for contamination of USDWs due to the injection of hydraulic fracturing fluids into coalbed methane wells, and to determine, based on these findings, whether further study is warranted. . . . Although thousands of coalbed methane wells are fractured annually, EPA did not find confirmed evidence that drinking water wells have been contaminated by hydraulic fracturing fluid injection into coalbed methane wells." The whole thing is here http://water.epa.gov/type/groundwate...thanestudy.cfm Fracking falls under the Safe Drinking Water Act, not the Clean Water Act, in the category of injection wells and EPAs "Underground Injection Control Program." http://water.epa.gov/type/groundwater/uic/index.cfm Again from the publicly available EPA site http://water.epa.gov/type/groundwate...nformation.cfm "EPA has delegated primacy for all well classes to 33 states and 3 territories; it shares responsibility in 7 states, and implements a program for all well classes in 10 states, 2 territories, the District of Columbia, and most Tribes. " All of these things were near trivial for me to find and, so, I expect anyone putting in the effort to make an alleged 'documentary' should do the same. After all, if you're going to 'accuse' the EPA, or anyone else for that matter, you'd think one would at least spend 5 minutes checking the website, even if nothing else. And the fact they either didn't, or flat misrepresented what they did find, means there's not a blessed thing in the alleged 'documentary' that can be trusted. Patrick's implication I'd sacrifice my wife, or anyone else for that matter (even Patrick), for 'Dick Cheney' is typical hate filled stupidity but, to make an analogy, if you came down with a serious case of pneumonia and the doctor amputated your legs because he 'hates legs' then he hasn't 'helped' you one bit, now has he? The legs weren't the 'source' of the disease, so you've still got pneumonia, but now you've also got no legs. Thanks a bunch. The same applies to fracking. If it's not the cause of the problem, as all the studies say it isn't, then banning it won't 'help' anyone one damn bit. They just end up having the same water problem with the added misery of freezing to death in the dark with it. Perhaps he could act as a consultant for the opposing point of view. They already know what I know because they find it just as easy to click on www.epa.gov as I do. Not to mention they spend every day filling out paper work on and complying with the bazillion regulations involved. Then we can all pay to go & watch!! The "real money" is in propaganda films where people in droves pay good money to watch someone lie and scare them to death. Kickass. ;-) LV |

Half the little creeps are so conditioned to be being offered lists of stuff that trendies should be against, they'll never notice they're voting to bring back capital punishment, at least in the places where it isn't. And the other half will be cast in the pit of indecision by the luscious choice between Fat Al Bore and Murderous Joe Stalin. My betting is that more of them will vote for Joe Stalin than for Fat Al. After all, Uncle Joe was a very efficient genocidal maniac. The Tsardine is the only ringer in there. Given the remaining choice, I vote "present," like O'Butthole did in the Senate all the time. Does this mean my palm flower crystal is going to start blinking? Only if you plug it in first.
