Betty Sutliff, retired school teacher and landowner contrasts Gasland Part II with FrackNation, finding the former brought out the usual suspects, while the latter brought a more serious mix of individuals simply interested in the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

A journalistic duel played out on the streets of Callicoon on June 8th. Academy award nominee and HBO backed Manhattanite, Josh Fox, vs. people funded Kickstarter backed Irishman, Phelim McAleer – a regular David (McAleer) vs. Goliath (Fox) scenario. The theater where Gasland Part II was being shown appeared to be filled to capacity.

As I observed that crowd, however, it appeared to me that, for the most part, Josh was preaching to his choir while strumming his banjo. With few exceptions, the participants had “the look” of aging Woodstockers and/or their offspring, the Occupiers. Not much diversity and not many locals, just a lot of designer clad folks from the city attempting to look poor/countryish.
