Yep -- one of my left-leaning friends has already suggested fracking as the cause of this earthquake ... in all seriousness.
By the end of this week EPA will release some vague generalized statement using the words fracking and earthquakes in the same sentence.
Your buddy will then have his proof that he is right. Liberals are always right in their thinking. Have you every heard one admit they were wrong? It is just one of the symptoms of the liberal disease.
Never let a crises or natural event go to waste.
