Fracking and Human Rights

[Rick Rowlands]

Thanks Towntalk.

Given the history of human rights, I'm deeply offended that this so-called professor would  insert it in her complaint about fracking.

The history of human rights is filled to overflowing with blood, pain, hunger, torture, and unimagined hurt, so extreme that we here in the United States can not point to fracking and compare it to the brutalizing of women and children, or the murder of people because of their religious belief.

There is absolutely no excuse, none whatever for a college professor to dare, ever to imply that fracking is comparable to a human rights violation, and to be perfectly honest, this absolutely disqualifies her opinions on anything.

The same can be said about the radical right. These individuals are downright scary. Some of their scare tacics
are insane as well. Join the club.

These individuals are downright scary. Radical environmentalists are absolutely insane with their scare tactics.

Speaker: Process will cause 'crisis'

  An Ithaca College professor doesn't want to see a halt to horizontal fracturing.

She wants to see it banned.

   Sandra Steingraber, an ecologist and author, speaking Monday in Virginia at a shale-drilling health forum along with dozens of health- care professionals, environmental advocates and attorneys, said that fracking will not just cause an envi-ronmental crisis, but also a "human-rights crisis."
