Natural gas drilling by hydraulic fracturing, or 'fracking', in shale deposits is under way in some US states, on hold in others. Environmentalists are raising concerns about pollution, while industry argues that development is vital for energy independence and job creation. Do you think fracking should go ahead?
No, I would much rather pay for hydrocarbons produced by tyrannical regimes that hate America.

Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.
