No Bells Sound for the Important Decisions in Life (or Politics and Fracking)
The title above came from somewhere, but I am unable to identify the source. For the past seven or eight years when I (or we) have made big decisions, I’ve often thought, “No Bells Sound for the Important Decisions in Life.” So Lee bought me a bell and we ring it all the time because there has to be bells and whistles for the important decisions of life, especially those that turn out REAL good.
And in politics, things are pretty much the same way. Politicians are constantly blowing smoke screens with small issues, but important issues are quietly discussed, don’t make the headlines of the news and laws are even pushed through at times when people are busy doing other things. NY’ers remember how city council gave Bloomberg a chance to be mayor for a third term?
And now the topic of Fracking is on the table, but is very low key for such a serious topic. Holy cow experts are going to try to convince us that it is safe and won’t harm us in the future, but how can they be sure? Even thought there are reports of water contamination caused by fracking in other states, the experts in NY don’t think there is any cause for concern here. CRAZY!
Double Rainbows aren’t so sweet with fracking under them.
Hugs,
