TOP TEN REASONS WHY SHALE GAS DRILLING ROCKS
10. Creates jobs for road repair crews, EMTs, lawyers, nurses,
physicians, marriage counselors, firefighters, law enforcement
officers, & meth dealers & has added bonus of providing extra income for corrupt politicians
9. Drilling noise easily drowns out next-door neighbor's kid's
garage band
8. Devastated landscape, loss of green space, & clouds of killer
smog mean less hiking & biking & LOTS more time for TV
7. Eliminates hours of tedious trout fishing by "pre-killing" your
catch
6. Flammable tap water livens up any party
5. Putting off the inevitable switch to renewable energy sources is
the American way
4. Fulfills your California-dreamin' fantasies by bringing
earthquakes to YOUR home town
3. Makes slow & boring process of disintegration of the American
community a lot more exciting by actively setting neighbor against
neighbor
2. Provides important object lesson on why you should read a gas
lease BEFORE you sign it
1. Helps the kids learn that money is more important than anything
else
In 1930, my greatgrandparents purchased a beautiful farm in Bradford County, PA, in a little hamlet called French Azilum. In the summer, we spent time there, resting, breathing in the fresh air, enjoying the wild flowers, the bright stars and planets on a clear moonlit night, and swimming in the Susquehanna River. If gas drilling is allowed to continue, Bradford County and all of Pennsylvania will be forever changed, ruined beyond repair.

Hi, Carol!I listened to several of the you tube talks and read this article. Now, of course, my back is broken by all the work I do for Camp, but will I complain? Of COURSE not. Thank God for you. You are the only one in our entire family- HUNDREDS of Hutchinsons- who has bothered to RESEARCH THE FACTS. By the time others comprehend this unfolding ecological disaster, Frenchtown will be pretty much uninhabitable, but you, my heroine sister, have done your best to just bring the facts out. You have my respect and admiration for your work. Love, Laurie
Thank you, sister in crime!
