Where do you get the number two thousand? I'm not criticizing it, but wondering if it is available online.

Compare this number with the 100 from everywhere who showed up in Charleston from all over to "demand" a moratorium on fracking! “Mr. Blakeslee (leased his land) to the gas drillers”… ,as did over two thousand other landowners in Monroe County.

Chesapeake is using this as an opportunity to send a message to the entire state that says "If you want your kids to have money for educational programs, you have to let us drill." If that's not using children as bargaining chips, I don't know what is. They’re my words and I stand by them.

Band instruments aren't children. When a legislative body declines to fund this or that school program, are they "using children"? The emotional biases exhibited by anti-gas industry "activists" is apparent here. ”…using children as bargaining chips?”

Band instruments aren’t children. When a legislative body declines to fund this or that school program, are they “using children”?

The emotional biases exhibited by anti-gas industry “activists” is apparent here.

"Vengeful"? Nonsense. Business spending decisions, PR spending among them, are evaluated according to their efectiveness. “The beneficent Chesapeake revealed a vengeful streak.”

“Vengeful”? Nonsense.
