The truth of the matter is, just like at a bad intersection, some yet to be determined number of people will have to die or be injured before the clowns down in Austin would even bother looking at this. It is a local issue (at least for now) and probably won't be able to move the entire Texas legislature. I am a Republican, but this is where a stereotype becomes a stereotype, there is so much payoff on this issue, every politican is bought and paid for (obvious statement of the day) otherwise we wouldn't be where we are today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973802945295732402.post-64594679761771193542008-08-20T17:23:00.000-05:002008-08-20T17:23:00.000-05:00okay, okay, I'll give it a whirl. Nobody wants to ...okay, okay, I'll give it a whirl. Nobody wants to see pipelines taking out peoples front porches. The problem is when the Texas legislature inadvertantly allowed these "mid stream companies" the ability to exercise eminent domain. Where were the protestors when this legislation was passed? It does no good to picket the offices of Cherokee Horn. Take away ED for the pipelines and the gas companies won't drill if there is no "<BR/>easy" way to acquire pipeline access. The solution to the ED issue with pipelines lies at the doorstep of Tan Parker and his cohorts. That is where this needs to be handled. And that is where picketing and protesting should start. When the legislature next meets.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973802945295732402.post-70347296269565325362008-08-20T09:36:00.000-05:002008-08-20T09:36:00.000-05:00*crickets chirping**crickets chirping*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973802945295732402.post-15627765287591748152008-08-19T09:50:00.000-05:002008-08-19T09:50:00.000-05:00Notice how the other side is rather silent on this...Notice how the other side is rather silent on this issue?

This is unbelievable. Pipelines are more dangerous than the drill site itself. These are not the pipelines bringing gas to our homes now. Those of us that think this won't affect everyone need to take a moment and really think about signing anything. Of course they can say they won't put a pipeline through our neighborhoods but with the kind of power given to the gas companies, I just don't trust any agreement they might put in front of me. I am sure they have the money and power to get around it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973802945295732402.post-22867159265435600012008-08-18T12:52:00.000-05:002008-08-18T12:52:00.000-05:00Wow...favorite statement: "people don't want to gi...Wow...favorite statement: "people don't want to give up their evenings but they're going to be giving up their homes"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
