Niki Friedrich Raapana,
"I just watched two movies on the oil and gas drilling in the Rocky Mountains.  Both films focused on the health affects suffered by people whose water and air was poisoned by the fracking wells.  Good overview of the "conflict" between people who want the jobs and people who want to control their environoment, and a perfect example of how Communitarian regulations work.  The federal laws protecting the environment only apply to the little people... not to corporations or government.  Plus, what a scam that property owners do not own the mineral rights under their land.  Unbelievable how CLOSE the wells are to homes and farms.  The funeral of a baby born dead on one of the farms was horrific.  Fits in nicely with the "need" for getting people out of the rural areas, and not because they want to "protect" the wilderness, but because the communitarians are, at their core, DEVELOPERS."
