"Look around. You’re not alone, and you know what we need to know. So go tell it on the mountains and in the cities. From your websites and laptops, tell it. From the street corners and coffeehouse, tell it. From delis and diners, tell it. From the workshop and the bookstore, tell it. On campus, at the mall, the synagogue, sanctuary and mosque, tell it. Tell it where you can, when you can and while you can. Tell America what we need to know, and we may just rekindle the patriot dream. Good luck to one and all."
Bill Moyers (as Studs Terkel calls him: "MY NORTH STAR"), June 7, 2008, National Conference for Media Reform
INTERNATIONAL HOUR
The French legislature has just last night completed the vote to ban natural gas fracking in France.
Earlier this month, fracking was halted in Blackpool, England after the British Geological Survey confirmed that two earthquakes in the area appear to be related to the hydraulic fracking.
A recent study in Arkansas also links fracking to earthquakes, but the U.S. is slow to respond.
Shouldn't we pay attention to what the international community is learning and doing about this?
