I thank the gentleman for yielding me the time. This is just a little short ditty because I am very concerned as a person who lives in an inner city environment, I have become intensely aware of how environmental injustice affects the health and safety of our communities. So I just wanted to talk a little bit about fracking this evening. As we frack, under intense pressure, we force a fissure through the delicate veins of our unbound Earth and a black hole forms, poisoning the valley and streams of our spirit. Man, don't you fear it? Wrecking the ecosystem and trekking recklessly over pristine black loam. Man, don't you hear it? The harsh acid rain as it drains into the vital marsh of our existence. Oh, but, of course, the coarse priority of wealth strips our Earth's fertility and reservoir of life. Fracked and cracked, lost, perhaps for all eternity. Alas, it is true, there is none so blind as he who will not see.
