I will give a person one sentence that tells a lot about what we are discussing which is a person's right to privacy.
"Nearly all the cases were tossed out when Congress in 2008 granted the telecommunications retroactive immunity from legal challenges, a law the U.S. Supreme Court upheld." This is just part of the reason why should be discussing this as our role as citizens. We basically have all three branches of government saying to heck with personal privacy because former President George W. Bush was just fine with this sort of thing by signing this particular piece of legislation. I just wanted a person to know the reason why Verizon and there is little doubt in my mind other telecommunications companies thought it was o.k. to collect and store data about their customers without worry because various branches of the federal government did not have a problem with this sort of thing happening. There is much to think about with this particular story for sure. Story Here

Also, no strict policy or guidelines so obviously nothing can go wrong with that

policy and guidelines. Big brother. Regulations for fracking... and the toxins, carcinogens and waste produced by it are sadly needed ahead of the privacy debacle. I watched an episode of 'The Nature of Things" last week and it showed these wells 50 feet from schools!!....in the USA! I see ZERO common sense to it. Health or wealth should be a no-brainer. I also see it's a giant Canadian company that is taking advantage...so embarassed. Quote:
Not so easily assured that the rules get followed. Would be simple to fix the fracking issue. The point being....the government knows these infractions are occurring. So where IS the police who police the police?...and then, of course who would police those police? How do you introduce more policy and guidelines without government getting bigger?

But the fracking debate, imo, is often based on wrong and skewed information... Opponents to fracking will state that billions, if not trillions, of gallons of fracking fluid is being used...which is correct. But out of all of that, 99.5% of that fluid is non-toxic and the other .5% could be a variety of chemicals, some of which would have no harm on any living creature on this planet. Yes, it does need to be monitored because there are instances when toxins are used (but again, in a very small percentage), but I don't get why it is made out to be such a scary technique when, for the most part, is relatively harmless. Watching a pro-environment, anti-oil documentary will obviously have an agenda...
