There are many other minor quakes in Ohio.

Not that fracking isn't causing minor quakes. They taught us in school they were studying pumping water into the San Andreas fault to create small minor quakes, to prevent big ones.

The natural gas in under tremendous pressures so is oil for that matter. So one would be foolish not to wounder what will happen when the pressue is messed with. Then knowing human nature as I do, add the quest for a quick profit. Adds up to a disaster that will be of our own doing.

But this will get little attention because we are distracted by issues like Syria and their chemical attacks on fellow countrymen. But we have companies poisoning our land and water, causing earthquakes and it is alright. Because we need the energy.

Well, I guess having knowledge of good and evil IS bad..............

When certain people want to restrict your knowledge to what THEY want you to believe.

Well if you have read Catch-22 by Joseph Heller the main character wonders why God specificially pointed out to Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit. God could have not said anything. He basically says "Hey you two do anything you want just don't eat anything off that one tree right there...you see it? Do not eat that fruit!!!"

of course she wants to eat it after that ...

Which, according to Heller, would never happen, since the Army had only one Major Major, and they weren't about to fuck it up by promoting him.

I still remember my friend and myself discussing Catch 22, and referring to it as a satire. His father, who actually flew bomber missions over Europe during WWII, claimed it was the most realistic book he had ever read.

At the time, I deferred to the old man's judgement, since he was there and we weren't. As time went on, I began to appreciate as to just how correct he was.

Catch 22 and Camus's The Stranger have the same theme, but Heller's book is so much more fun. I think he was a one-trick pony however. Even The Knack had two hit songs lol.
