I don't know how I missed this ... but anyway watched it on hbo tonight and wow. I thought the first one was horrible with what was going on but this one is even worse. It is bad enough that these companies are doing this to people but when the govt actually give the power to private industry to trample over our rights and land I do believe it is enough. Strange thing is, in the areas these things are happening the worse, people keep voting for people that continue with this agenda. And then you have people who you might think may oppose it but then don't. Obama for instance, something I did forget (though I mentioned it at the time)... Before he was POTUS he mentioned "clean" coal and natural gas a bit but really wanted to move towards non fossil fuels, but then as the election came ever so closer the clean coal and gas was all there was. Then for re-election he did the same thing, even more so cuz of the Gulf. Then after the election is was Obama as usual. And it's just not him, it's most of them. I really think we are all fucked. Between the killing off of our water, air, and rights, we be fucked!

    Well there isn't any doubt that this stuff gets into the ground and water supply not to mention air. So I ask what I always ask to people who keep up with the whole " what else we going to use " meme, umm, would you drink the water or swim in oil infested waters? I mean really? The reason why the above old excuse is used because that is all we have because there is so much opposition to anything that is free. Tesla had great ideas for free power, that got squashed. Even with wind and solar and hydro we could get most of our electricity or even all of it if it was done right and the funds were given. OIL and GAS have and are destroying our world and yet we keep allowing this. Whether gasland is a lie, which I doubt it since there really isn't any money in it and the gas companies have spent millions against any opposition it still seriously causes problems for people. And if there was an anti gasland video or what not, then who backed it? What parties are behind the scenes? One of the things I have learned is that the only time I believe anything anymore is if the side with the most to lose and least amount of money behind it/them they are usually right. When in recent history has the big money, big interest not been at fault? Can't really think of one time.
