No doubt the enviomentalists, fracenstiens, trolls, dimockrats, environasties and Chicken Littles are firing up their Volvo station wagons, Priuses, VW mini-buses and bicycles and heading off to Albany for the Mother-of-all Cluster Clucks!

Well, let's get into our pickup trucks, load up on chew, pack a cooler with beer, put on our cowboy hats and boots, load up the shotguns, pack the Bibles, and go there too! Awe "F" it, let's go hunting instead!

RE: "Awe "F" it, let's go hunting instead!"

This time of year, the only thing legal to hunt are vermin.

Elnathan, very interesting comment from someone who stands to benefit greatly from all of this.

Some of us who have businesses and employ people, look at as a blessing.

Just trying to make a point about type-casting.

Typecasting, the process by which an actor is strongly identified with a specific character, role, or trait.

If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, swims like a duck, looks like a duck, it must be a duck – unless you wish to be politically correct, then it is some kind of unidentifiable creature; otherwise, you would be guilty of “avian profiling”.

 

I’m Jack Straw ……. and I approve of this message.

This whole process has been a riot here in NY. Just this evening as I was getting out of my car after getting home from work I was greeted with the third anti-drilling petition of the year. The girl told me that she was seeking signatures on behalf of New York Citizens for the Environment. I told her that I just got home from my oil and gas job down in PA (I'm doing curative work right in the heart of the drilling in Susquehanna Co. PA and I meet with folks in the middle of drilling country daily)( a two hour drive round trip for me almost daily) that pays me very well and has been keeping me and my family living here in the State of NY. I asked her why she thinks I have to drive an hour away to find work that pays me this well. Nothing. I invited her to ride with me for a week and see first hand what it is she is fighting against. She of course told me she already knows all she needs to know about "fracking" and that she was quite happy to stay here in NY and fight the fight. I told her to have a good evening, working folk like myself don't have time for her type of non-sense.

Lets hope that your commute will soon be a 15 minute one.

The people of RURAL NY deserve the prosperity that the Marcellus can bring.
