Anything But Success

A Hydraulic Fracture, which has been used since 1949, is formed by forcing enormous quantities of water, sand and chemicals into deep shale rock under high pressure to free trapped Oil & Gas. . The Prolific Bakken Formation occupying about 200,000 square miles of Montana, North Dakota, Saskatchewan and containing 3-5 billion barrels of oil is under threat by the Greens.
The broader questions on the negative consequences of shale exploitation regarding the depletion of water supply, particularly in times of drought, as well as the resulting methane leaks arising from the entire process that, according to a recent Cornell University study, could cause greenhouse gases even dirtier than coal-fired fuel.

The Liberal Mind Explained

One of Mamet’s favorite books has been Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War, published during the First World War by the British social psychologist Wilfred Trotter, inventor of the term “herd instinct.”
“Trotter says the herd instinct in an animal is stronger even than the preservation of life,” Mamet said. “So I was watching the [2008] debates. My liberal friends would spit at the mention of Sarah Palin’s name. Or they would literally mime the act of vomiting. We’re watching the debates and one of my friends pretends to vomit and says, ‘I have to leave the room.’ I thought, oh my god, this is Trotter! This is the reaction of the herd instinct. When a sheep discovers a wolf in the fold, it vomits to ward off the attacker. It’s a sign that their position in the herd is threatened.”
