(22,143 posts)You can discuss it but don't act like this isn't exactly what the majority want or voted for. Believe me I sympathize. My state is as backward and racist as any in the Deep South, it's embarrassing and what these scumbags are doing is reprehensible but it's also what the yahoos in the state think they want. So I and other progressives just have to eat it.
The thing is the fracking is going to kill them before it kills me. The chemicals are not getting into my water, they're getting into theirs. The lower taxes aren't hurting me but the policy is going to hurt them. They're going to be sorry for all this misery they're asking for because they don't believe it's going to touch them but it is. These horrific policies know no color, religion or any of that. It'll be too late when it happens but I'll get to say "I told you so!" to the idiots before they die of self inflicted diseases.
That's pretty much all we have left. This game is over. It's been over since November 1980.
