You never really own land...



Field Reporter O'Beary

 "You Never Really Own Land...you just get the privilege to take care of it for the next generation. "  

I'm not sure who said it first, but it's something to think about.  Lately, the local paper seems to be running too many stories about new ways to get "natural gas" out of the land.  Fracking is the name they give it.  But, they are pretty mum about the poisonous chemicals they pump into the earth, and what they do with them.  The "stories" about polluted well water and sick live stock are not fiction. 

All too often the few seem to think that the earth is their personal piggy bank...that "they own" mineral rights, and can do what ever it takes to make a profit.  Wrong!  No one has the right to harm others...especially for generations to come.  It really steams us bears up...and that is pretty hard to do!   Lets keep the earth safe for all of the future cubs to come.   Field Reporter 0'Beary
