Fuck Republicans

republicans in the House of Representatives just had a documentary filmmaker arrested because he was trying to film a hearing over a controversial piece of legislation regarding hydraulic "fracking," the process by which giant oil companies destroy bedrock for natural gas, causing earthquakes and unknown environmental hazards.

apparently, trying to inform the public about the very real dangers of this process is not permissible in the eyes of these frigging cowards, which is surprising, given their supposed affinity for the constitution.  this is a blatant trampling of Josh Fox's rights, and the right of all Americans to be informed of what huge companies like Hailburton are doing to destroy the environment in the name of profit.  And yes, I consider that a right.

that's fucked up. but this should come as no surprise, since republicans have already been purchased by the industry.
