Hey why not, the more the better.

No snark intended femrap.....it's just here we are screwing up stuff, everyone (well, not everyone!) turns their head as they whistle past the graveyard, major media keeps the lid on tight and it just pisses me off to no end that so much of our $$ is spent on prehistoric fuel when we could be putting so much more into green energy.

Oh, there's no problem, everything's a-ok. Earthquakes in the area of just coincidence. Bad wells, well ya know yall shoulda been buying bottled water anyway and hey, a little arsenic is fine for you complexion......

I could just scream.

And yea, Hazard, KY is such an ironic name.
