A cool blog idea would be every week, put out a 1-page double-sided pamphlet summarizing an important contemporary social issue (with diagrams and pictures and colors). I think out could get big.

As it is, I already don't enjoy doing team stuff (team sports, no ty), so being part of a 10k-1million person cause is definitely out of the question.

Of course I will Trey. Just PM me on the next time you'll be in Philly.

It's that simple, Trey. Couldn't be easier.

All About Fracking

This. Good reference.

Pennsylvania, New York and my Homeland, Quebec are targeted for fracking.

Invade countries! Make gas from corn / your food! Poison your water! Good for business. We need jobs!!

Stop the bastards.

Additionally, any local councils who try to leglislate against the mining companies are being hauled into court and sued for damaging the profit potential of the mining companies.

The assertion that flammable water is not a result of the fracking process - bullshit. Landowners are reporting the exact same thing happening to them down here and only since the gas companies started their plants up.

Warning from a Coal Seam Gas Refugee - Kyogle Rally, Oct 2011 - YouTube

There is a movement against fracking that is starting to take hold in Austrlai but it's very much a David and Goliath battle. We are very much guided by what is happening right now in America.

The corporations will probably win.

This is so depressing How can people live with themselves?
