Some corporations employ legions of lawyers as a business plan. Before the got gobbled up by Alcatel, Lucent had more lawyers on staff than researchers. Their main function was suing everyone and his brother over alleged patent infringement.

So if I were you -- I'd start buying Hebrew National because "we answer to a higher authority". Their commercials are spot on for the purpose of this discussion. Quote:

Those Savannah, Hanford, Snake river pollution sites were on FED land, under FED oversight, using FED dollars. The fact that the govt uses private contractors for anything productive doesn't let them skate responsibility now does it? In the case of Apollo, we don't get the spin that Grumman, Hughes, Lockheed and GE got us to the moon now do we? The FED govt is one of (if not THE) most dangerous polluters in this country. |

You do realize don't you, that a mere 40 years ago, high schools sponsored rifle teams for target shooting on a fairly routine basis. Could have had an incident, but I don't remember any facts relating to high schoolers skirmishing with their school issued match rifles.. Why do you think that was? I'll answer your question directly.. NO ONE is trusted by me enough to own nukes. Not Obama, not Amadinajob. So those are off the table. I don't need anything swifter than a semi-auto rifle or a handgun in my personal gun locker. HOWEVER -- I'd like to be able to go somewhere and RENT a howitzer for the afternoon. Or maybe actually get a certificate to operate an Abrams Battle Tank during my summer trip to Arizona. How cool would it be to shoot TV sets tuned to MSNBC with a 50 cal wing cannon? D-Ray: Yup.. there is a danger that in the nat gas extraction process, you fracture rock and expose the water table to mixing with coal dust or residual petroleum product. But the point is that the eco-whacks are using fracking as the strawdog without understanding the process. Of course, most eco-whack diatribes are short on logic and scientific analysis. You could do the fracking with 100% Perrier water (no fracking fluids) and STILL disturb the water table in some way. Question is -- why are these folks not concerned about the NATURAL risk of living over a huge hydrocarbon vault? |

I've actually been involved with the EPA regulatory process regarding off-highway engine emissions, and I was pretty impressed with the way they went about it. As someone in the business, their regulations were going to increase my costs without a doubt, but as an air-breathing organism, I also recognized the necessity for the regulations and I appreciated the efforts they made to reduce the burden on smaller manufacturers in the process. You still haven't addressed my question of compromise regarding the personal freedom for individual ownership of highly lethal weaponry. |
The gun ownership to crime info would be more useful if it had LEGAL ownership to LEGALLY owned gun crime. I can go buy a illegal gun right now.
I read not that long ago that 50% of businesses in China are owned by the Chinese military. Pete |

I was also mentioning the destruction of the natural containment of the gas to explain the natural gas leaks. That is just another risk aside from exposing ground water to other toxic chemicals. You fracture the rock and put the water table at risk, as you mentioned, and in the process you introduce toxic chemicals. That does not sound like a stable operation to me. Indeed, it sounds unconscionable. Regards, D-Ray Regards, D-Ray |
