Instead of groveling for lousy jobs in upstate New York we should be examining the economic forces which created the decline. For years we've been brainwashed into thinking that Globalization is like an uncontrollable act of nature. It isn't. We've been sold out. There isn't a free market when banks and oil companies receive tax payer subsidies and get us into useless imperial wars.
WNY has natural beauty and great quality of life. It doesn't need to be screwed up by corporate greed.

You, my friend, are a douchebag.
Give me a damned break already! You managed to take everything I said about the hard, cold facts, evidence and figures and turned it into a situation where I am some sort of paid propagandist for the industry I work in. I simply stated that extremists from both sides need to get the hell out of the way and let the people who actually know the facts on both sides sit down and hash out a plan that everyone can grudgingly accept.
Are you seriously telling me that WNY is going to be destroyed by fracing? Has PA been destroyed by fracing? Do you really think there are no rules, no regulations in PA governing the industry? (For the record, I think there need to be even stronger regulations, but that's just me...) WNY is beautiful, no doubt about it, but the employment picture and general economy there is pretty much dismal. Energy development is no panacea, but it's certainly something that can put some real dollars back into the region's economy.
