YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
"You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth! We live in a world that needs clean natural gas, and gas wells have to be frac’d by men with rigs and pumps. Who’s gonna do it? Microsoft? Apple? The energy industry has greater responsibility than you could possibly fathom. You weep for your i-phone app, and you curse the frac crews. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what we know. That fossil energy fuels economic growth. And the existence of frac’ing, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, powers our economy. You don't want the truth because deep down in places you don't talk about on Facebook, you want them on that frac, you need them on that frac. We use words like pressure, proppant, conductivity. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent producing gas. You use them as a punchline. We have neither the time nor the inclination to explain ourselves to someone who takes a hot shower every morning using the natural gas that we provide, and then questions the manner in which we provide it. We would rather you just said thank you, and went on your way, Otherwise, we suggest you pick up a pipe wrench, and meet us on location. We have wells to frac!" -- Unknown Author

I just LOVE this! Gotta add it to my facebook page. See who else I can annoy with the truth.

Apparently, some are not getting the point that it was a spoof on the movie "A Few Good Men". That was a great line in the movie and it is really to the point, if you ask me. There are too many people voicing opinions against fracking when they have absolutely no understanding of the process. They don't take the time to learn, either. Never mind, the total disconnect between the light switch, the water heater and the AC/Furnace and where the energy comes from to make any of these things useful to humans. Kinda like... food comes from the grocery store.

Five removed so far, one of which is from someone I consider to be a valuable contributor to this site whom I would never expected it from.

I can't even imagine someone on this site making an anti-energy comment. It's the reason we are all here.

Thanks J Michael Landry. Surprisingly there have been a couple of negative comments, which I prompt;y deleted of course because they were bringing down the good vibe that we had working here. lol. It's nice to see someone on this site who appreciates the working end of the industry and not just the mailbox end. Before anyone gets grumpy about that last sentence, the only thing wrong with the mailbox end is that it's not My end!

Josh, I've been in the business for 31 years. Two of my children are 3rd generation landmen. We live in an impossible world. Everyone wants/needs the energy we provide but don't know anything about it except turning on a switch. There's no "oil and gas fairy" that magically makes this happen. It's a living, complicated, sometimes dirty industry that helped build this country...and one that we certainly could NOT do without. Cudo's my friend!

NO CREDIT TO ME. I wish I was this creative! Someone sent it to me in an e-mail and it waslabeled anonymous. I imagine a little searching on google might find the author. When i read it I had to go to youtube and watch the real thing.
