In reply to the discussion: A Raid on the Unspeakable [View all]H2O Man

As you know, one of the projects that I've been working on is the effort to prevent hydrofracking. It amazes me that there are people -- both in government and corporations (which are one in the same these days) who are so ethically/morally disconnected from profit margins, that they are willing to poison large segments of population .....including little school children ..... and, indeed, wave flags and claim patriotism in their diseased television commercials for "natural" gas.
