This right here is the most important point I have seen raised. It is the shooters that need to be concerned, especially when firing at an indoor range. Some small amount of lead is vaporized with every shot
hmm, lets see...absorption of lead increases violence...people with guns exposed to lead...eek!
Hydraulic fracturing has been used in oil production since the 1950's, and has been used in over a million wells.
It is not controversial.
Horizontal hydrofracking in populated areas is much more recent, and it it VERY controversial.
"Horizontal oil or gas wells were unusual until the 1980s. Then in the late 1980s, operators in Texas began completing thousands of oil wells by drilling horizontally in the Austin Chalk, and giving massive slickwater hydraulic fracturing treatments to the wellbores. Horizontal wells proved much more effective than vertical wells in producing oil from the tight chalk;[23] the shale runs horizontally so a horizontal well reached much more of the resource.[24] In 1991, the first horizontal well was drilled in the Barnett Shale[24] and in 1996 slickwater fluids were introduced." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_fracturing
You're on to something there - there have been several psychological experiments showing that almost everyone* is capable of truly atrocious behavior in the right circumstances. Sadly I can't remember the names of the studies,
Actually, not a bad idea. Most of the people I know who have pets seem to have no problem providing them with organic food, expensive care (I think vets are often better doctors than some of the medical doctors I have dealt with recently).
Meanwhile we can't seem to feed and educate many of the children in our society.
They may have been "new", but they were reprints of things that went out of copyright before the changes started in 1976. (see Effect of 1976 Copyright Law with Amendments of 1992 and 1998 http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ15t.pdf)
No, we should stop eating meat raised in " a deviant, historically abnormal food and farming system." According to farmer Joel Salatin, "grass grazing herbibores are the foundation of how soil builds: herbivore pruning, perennial disturbance-rest cycles, solar-grown biomass, and decomposition." Without their activities and input -- no veggies!
Also, "The rainforest, by the way, is not being cut to graze cattle. It’s being cut to grow transgenic corn and soybeans. North America had twice as many herbivores 500 years ago than it does today due to the pulsing of the predator-prey-pruning cycle on perennial prairie polycultures." http://grist.org/sustainable-farming/farmer-responds-to-the-new-york-times-re-sustainable-meat/
I LOVE my light therapy lamp. Got it 3 years ago for winter depression, and was surprised when it also caused my sleep cycle to reset to allow me to function much better in the morning
yeah it's wonderful that we no longer have to worry about violence against women (An estimated 1.3 million women are victims of physical assault by an intimate partner each year)http://www.ncadv.org/files/DomesticViolenceFactSheet(National).pdf
At last I can laugh!
Solar might beat out natural gas in CO2 produced but the cost of solar power is somewhere around double that of natural gas. Another great thing about natural gas is that we, in the USA, have plenty of it. We don't need anyone's permission to get it, we just need to go get it.
Much of the natural gas is only accessible through hydrofracking. A concern for us in the Marcellus Shale area is how that process will impact our water (see the movie Gasland).

Genius!
Translation issue, maybe?
ummm-you do know that Shakespeare wrote in English, don't you?
Libraries are also a haven from commercialism.
Oh yes, this is more and more important, and harder and harder to find.
The day they put ads in my library books - well, I don't want to think about that.
Is it better to allocate your donations yourself, or to simply give it to the public (government) and let the public decide?
This! I am so tired of mega companies complaining about the state of education, while at the same time taking advantage of every tax dodge.
Cool - thanks!
+1 insightful!
We have exactly this process in New York state. I didn't realize it was so uncommon.

Size matters...
It doesn't have to be like that. It doesn't have to be a race to the bottom.
YES! Wish I had mod points...
Wikipedia says typical capacity of a tank truck is 5 to 10 thousand gallons. So 500 to 1000 truckloads -- far more feasible than a pipeline.
Yup, that's what they do. And those heavy trucks do quite a number on the roads.
You're on to something there - there have been several psychological experiments showing that almost everyone* is capable of truly atrocious behavior in the right circumstances. Sadly I can't remember the names of the studies,
The Stanford Prison Experiment: http://www.prisonexp.org/ The Milgram Obedience Experiment: http://psychology.about.com/od/historyofpsychology/a/milgram.htm
I mean, those societies are funded by membership fees
Exactly. And one of the 'benefits' of membership is access to the journals.
Excellent comments - wish I had mod points!
