Wayne Nash claims that the time has never been better for America to get behind its drillers.
This situation has touched us all. I watched a television news reporter standing by a reservoir discussing the safety of our water supply. This struck me as a little odd - an example of how we have managed to trade freedom for security for years. Sure, it is possible, although difficult, to poison a significant number of people, and we do have some minimal security in place, but the question should be: Why are we using surface water anyway, when there is so much clean, fresh ground water available? If you think about it, the bigger danger is an ignorant government employee screwing up the water. You don't hear much about giardia or cryptosporidia coming from wells. We have traded the freedom to have our own well for the so-called security of a socialist water system. I say real Americans have their own wells! I know that if some moron fooled with my well, my dog Lugnut would chew his leg off. In other words, my water supply is secure.
