I feel dirty for going there.

Check out the reaction to news that a TX town is running out of water due to fracking. It's amazing.

1. That site is still being powered by hamsters, I see.

2. Didn't sound like any of the posters actually live in the affected towns...

and they show just as much empathy as we have come to expect.

3. The stupid is thick over there

One guy said it was the town's fault for not drilling their water wells deep enough. Another said they should just dam up a stream and they'd have lots of water. Thick layers of impermeable stupidity. Frack 'em.

to wallow in the mud sometimes!

5. I love how one poster immediately claims pumping groundwater isn't fracking.

Uh, yeah, it most certainly is. Fracking requires a fluid, doesn't much matter what it is, just any fluid will do. Water is often the fluid of choice.
