1. Did not feel that one

2. We had one this morning

here in Weld County in northeast Colorado, aka "Fracking Central". 3.1 on the Richter scale. And still they tell us that those 21000 wells aren't dangerous...

3. My daughter felt it in Kansas City

She was on the second floor. Those of us on the first floor felt nothing.

4. Because of fracking, Oklahoma has experienced more earthquakes in the last two years than

California.

Think about that.

5. But lawmakers at every level refuse to ban fucking fracking.

6. The quake shook my bedroom upstairs in Wichita KS

It didn't feel as strong and it wasn't as scary as the 5.6 quake that happened not too many months ago, but I knew it was a pretty big one.

I have an idea, let's vote for Trump so we can have more fracking. Maybe it you frack at certain angles one quake will negate the other. Also, earthquakes sometimes involve plates riding over other plates and if some fracking could be done near the MX border maybe an earthquake could be stimulated that would be severe enough to create a kind of wall between MX and the US and nobody would have to pay for it.

Just saying.
