"The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil Constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors: they purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men."

- Samuel Adams (1722-1803)

You've gotta love this one:

"Tarbell said various substances could easily seep into the groundwater through cracks in underground rockbeds created by the fracturing process of drilling for oil and gas, leading to the determination that Schreiner was the responsible party for the contamination."

Read the rest here.

I've been saying it all along; hydrofracturing can and will cause the contamination of our aquifers. BIG OIL and their cronies say it can't happen...viscosity or retrolinear osmotic biosis or some such quantum physics thing.

This person should be promoted for telling the truth. Wanna bet something else happens?
