EVENING MINI-RANT

If you asked a child if the state of New Jersey is a person, they'd say no.
If you asked a child if The Washington Monument is a person, they'd say no.
If you asked a child if Mount Everest is a person, they'd say no.
If you asked a child if BP, or Haliburton, or any other corporation is a person, you might have to explain what BP or Hailburton or any other corporation was, but when you did, they'd say no.

If you told a child that Oklahoma used to have an average of three very minor earthquakes a year, so minor they did almost no damage ever in the history of the state.
But since they've allowed fracking they now have over a thousand earthquakes a year, and some, like the most recent one, cause major damage.
And then asked them if they thought there was any connection. They'd say yes.
And then if you asked them what they thought should be done about that. They would say, "Stop fracking."

If only.

It's because children speak the truth. Adults who support fracking are not necessarily idiots (well some are) however truth is what suits them- rooted in greed. They lie without conscience. They have no concern for our planet or fellow planetary inhabitants.
Just like Trump.
