Pinic grove ~ Along the West Branch of the Au Sable River / Wilmington, NY - in the Adirondack PARK • click to embiggenIs there anyone else out there who also hopes, like I do, that these 2 FUCKING SCUMBALLS will spend a long time in prison and, after that, spend the rest of their miserable lives in poverty while they work at menial labor jobs trying to pay the monumental fines levied against them?
FYI, just in case you have head under a rock or up your asshole, this case was investigated by and is being prosecuted by those very ("evil") government agencies (amongst many which protect the public interest) the Republican morons (at all levels of government) want to restrict the functions thereof - that is to say "restrict" only if they can not completely eradicate them.
After all, the Republican Party's publicly stated goal is to "reduce it (government) to the size where (they) can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub". Why not? As every shriveled-brain, FOX-trots*, ditto-head knows, "Government is not the solution. Government is the problem."
Wake up America. As my friend Scary Joey says, "Be a-scared. Be very a-scared."
*from urban dictionary: trots - a bad case of explosive, uncontrollable diarrhea, often in slippery, chunky, streams.

Love the commentary. This is when being a curmudgeon really works.
Good to see your commentary on this subject. The dumping is the tip of the iceberg relating to all things Marcellus. I live (for now) and photograph a few miles from Dimock, PA. That puts me at the epicenter of the natural gas frenzy that is fracturing our formerly peaceful community. Since Corbett’s election as governor of our fair state, the once barely effective state agencies “in charge” of overseeing gas exploration have been reduced to rubber-stamping the Texas-based petro companies’ activities. The scumballs you write about, as guilty as they are, are not much more than scapegoats. The people that spoil the water, the air and the communities on a vast scale are heralded by many as saving us from “foreign oil”.
It’s clear to me that as long as we have a gluttonous appetite for energy that need will be filled without regard to human or environmental costs. No wind turbines or solar panels or other environmentally sound approaches will come close to satisfying the unrelenting demand. Sure, we must hold the bastards that consciously pollute our water and air accountable. But Pogo said it best: “we have met the enemy and he is us”.
Seen the film "Gasland" yet? Have a look. Remember, tho', the gorilla in the living room is our overabundance. We've got to cull ourselves back to where an agrarian / yeoman American way of life is possible. Say to 10% of present population levels. There's no way around this.
Speaking of the government, what are your thoughts on these folks who are into double dipping?
Double dipping OK between consenting adults.
