Slow news day? As credible a statement as "Drilling linked to lack of Bronco Super Bowl wins."

If only we had a, non-emotional, reliable source to determine the accuracy of this assertion, say, Kaye Fissinger.

Let me disagree that 21st Technology is exactly what's needed.

With kids all over the country, including, SVVSD, below other countries in math and sciences, let alone civics, shiny new mini iPads (Less expensive Kindles weren't available?) will only mean we can brag that maybe our kids aren't learning, BUT at least it's with better technology than Europe, Asia, etc.

How many voters would have voted for the levy, knowing THIS?

Any rational person knows that. This, however, is Boulder County.

Yes, how many death certificates listing Second hand smoke as the cause must we endure?

Smokers= worse than Hitler or fracking. And no, I'm not just some typical Boulder County paranoic overhyping this.

Repubs introduced a lot of bills this session; nearly all went nowhere. Dems supported this plain and simple, or it wouldn't have gotten out of committee. I don't doubt Dems would have written this bill, since most nanny state measures come from that party.

Dems used FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) to scare Longmont voters into voting for the Fracking ban. Also, pitiful.

They'll also used FUD to scare voters to support the insanely disproportional taxes on recreational marijuana, which will prop up the black market and drug cartels.

Get ready for Teacher Union paid ads:
"We MUST raise taxes for education, because MORE money for education EQUALS better education."

A fallacy, as proven by DC schools, who spend more than anyone.

Being they control the House and the Senate, Democrats are hardly blameless in this, since they've voted in whatever they've wanted, all session long, with little Republican support. Furthermore, it's the Dems who are ALL about taxing the $hit out of it.

So, you have no proof, then? Why would anyone go in search of proof of someone else's assertion that they're not inclined to believe in the first place?

The link you've provided mentions fracking is allowed in 30 states and yet can only mention one case in PA that may be linked to fracking. If proven true, rest assured there are greedy trail lawyers/Brockavich wannabes, who will be quite willing to "send the oil and gas companies a message" (while pocketing 80% of any settlement).

I can think of few things in life that are risk-free. Should we ban car and plane travel because there are crashes? A plane could crash into a school. Maybe we can get an initiative on the ballot that planes can't crash within 1000 feet of a school, or, better yet, ban plane crashes in Longmont city limits.

YOU do the quick search and post it! The burden of proof is on anti-frackers. You're the one claiming the end of days. Prove it.

And, Mother Jones is not proof. Hell, it's not even believable, most times.

" ... it is a slow poisoning. Who wants to volunteer for that study?"

If so, shouldn't there be widespread poisoning by people who work in fracking operations? Where's evidence of that?
