The New Documentary About the Barnett Shale

"It's really sad...everyone was so pro-drilling. This is the red, white and blue American thing to do. I just never saw it that way and I was being personally affected by it. But now I'm seeing other people rise up who are feeling the same way.

I think a lot of people now would like a do over."

"A lot of things that are generated during this process are known to be harmful to human beings. But it’s similar in my mind to how we found out about cigarette smoking and cancer. It wasn’t that we did a study and found out oh no look cigarettes cause cancer, it was 40, 50 years of ah... exposure."

A More Hopeful Holiday Extravaganza

Southlake, TX

We almost missed it ~ but we sure like this holiday extravaganza (in Southlake, TX) over this one. We also like it that Chesapeake decided that it was going to be too difficult to drill in Southlake, TX.

We thank Southlake, TX, for standing strong, and being the good example from the beginning of all of this. If only more communities had paid attention.

By the way, the creator of this amazing lighting display (David Koss with Alford Media), is the son of our Westchester neighbor and fellow Westchester-Grand Prairie Community Alliance "activist," Chris Koss. What an amazing and very talented family!

Happy New Year!
