   Check Wikipedia’s entry at “Jim Crow Laws.” It seems that the entire Jim Crow thing was orchestrated and pushed by establishment Democrats after the Civil War. The same Democrats who are still in power today. Does this tell us anything? Can history still teach us? Let’s hope so!

   Few comments means few readers; no comments… Well, you get the idea – I hope!

   You’d better lose the cad, or else you’ll lose your readers.

   Give us either Shmoos or maybe Mammy Yokum’s epic encounter with Evil Eye Fleegle. “Ah has spoken!”

   Fracking is performed in the producing zones down toward the bottom of oil and gas wells, which (according to www.eia.gov) is at an average depth of about 5,964 feet. However (according to pubs.usgs.gov), the depth of water wells in the USA run from 0-1,200’, with 2/3rds of them being less than 100 feet in depth. So how does the oil and/or gas get from the producing zone of an oil or gas into a water well? Quite frankly, unless somebody drilled an open hole between the two zones, or the intervening layers are extremely porous, there’s virtually no chance of contaminating a water well from oil or gas wells – or from fracking! And coffee colored water? Even the critics that I’ve heard from only claim that natural gas (colorless) gets into the water table (supposedly causing the evaporating water to be ignitable). Let’s get real here (even if it is fiction to begin with)!
