The City of Arlington web site lists this drill site location as 1809 Southeast Parkway, Arlington, TX.  So, which one is it?  Can residents arbitrarily change their address whenever they want?

  1. That's a great experiment shown in the video. Probably is a really good explanation for how the shale gas industry managed to get in so good and so quick in North Central TX.

    Most people are just not paying that much attention and can be fooled easily when everything seems business-as-usual and is presented as perfectly normal for us to accept.

    1. Precisely! The colossal "Switcheroo" of this century is that the shale gas industry managed ~ along with our North Texas cities' full cooperation ~ to transform residential communities into full-blown industrial mining zones. So, now that it's done, are we supposed to just believe this is all normal?

      No! As Thomas Jefferson said, "When injustice becomes law, then resistance becomes duty."
