Watched the 2012 Matt Damon flick Promised Land today. The flim follows two big-oil salespersons efforts to lock up land for fracking in a rural Pennsylvania town. That the fracking process is not subject to federal environmental regulations because of the so-called Halliburton exemption is abominable. But you have to feel for the struggling folks caught in the middle, whose plight was summed up pretty well by the following quote from the film: We have nothing left to sell and we cant afford to buy anything. You came here to help us. Offer us money... All we had to do to get it was be willing to scorch the earth under our feet.
