The same PR firms that told us smoking was safe are telling us that hydrofracking is safe.

4. They're using the same propaganda tactics that for-profit insurance companies use..

...to tell us that single-payer, nationalized health care is 'bad', 'evil', 'death panels' and 'government interfering with your medical decisions'. None of which are true, but psychological research has shown that these particular phrases cause fear and disgust in people - so they use them. These tactics were invented by tobacco companies years ago and have been honed to a fine propaganda machinery since, to mislead the public into fighting against (and voting against) their own best interests.

5. Along the Mo Ark border

our small resort town has had it FIRST two earthquakes EVER, in the last 7 weeks.

They are frakking in Fayetteville area. But was told our small quakes were related to the New Madrid.

For some reason I just cannot accept that if you take something by force from under the ground that there is no impacts.

Even on a very bad day I'm not sure these folks have honesty as part of their agendas.
