Welcome to Dallas. SMH. There is a lot I like about living here, but the rampant and blatant greed and corruption in state politics is insane.
It just goes to show that when it comes down to conservative ideals versus big oil money, it's all about the money. The whole ordeal is just sickening. Just across town from Denton, Irving has earthquakes on a regular basis. What could cause that, you say!? So the real kicker is that we are seeing the future repercussions just a couple towns over and the state is still allowing it!
And while I'm ranting, WTF is going on with the Keystone Pipeline? How many pipelines have to leak before people get that it might not be the best idea. It certainly isn't one that creates many jobs. It completely violates tribal sovereignty in US and Canada. And we just had another oil spill from a pipeline in California! ...with an almost ironic link back to TX oil dickheads.
SMH.
