fracking is dangerous, and I encourage monkeywrenching. Do what you need to do to protect people and the environment. The police in this country are enemies, they do not care about the law.

I love America, it's this "head of the world" civilized country, but oops, it's actually a corrupted money driven crazyland. Oh well, I feel sorry for all the intelligent/good hearted US citizens.

[Donald Thomas]

Well I'm sure that tells you where the Money from the Fracking Industry is going! Those MF's in Washington are going to allow these companies to poison the ground and water, and they will laugh all the way to the Bank!

WTF

[TheLuis642]

YOU, US citizens, must pay attention and be care. When politicians want money they are capable to do evil things if necessary to have it. Don't let GREED to damage US and its people. US is a very good country and must be defended at any time and at any House, most of all in the House of Representatives.

where the fuck is anonamous

[BreakerInc]

It's really damned depressing, and even more depressing that though there ARE those that are doing what they can to try and fix things and raise awareness, too many people are still wearing blinders, looking straight ahead and just going through the needed motions, moving through their lives like drones.

The other obvious thing is that the "yes men"(cops) and primarily their supervisors are directly in the pocket of these politicians as well, and they want us to respect law enforcement? We might as well move to Russia, at least we can accept then that we have no basic rights when confronted by "our pagan gods" our illustrious corrupt politicians.

[lisa6707able]

And the government wonders why we don't trust them or respect them and they seem to reserve the right to violate the constitution at their whim. The reps need to be arrested for not allowing us,

the citizens, our constitutional rights!

[fatouche99]

Republicans have always use cops as their muscles.
