"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
The Bakked Facts
"North Dakota is witnessing a massive oil boom that is bringing the state prosperity at a time when the rest of the country is still struggling economically. The Bakken Formation, underlying much of western North Dakota, is full of shale oil that can be extracted through hydraulic fracturing and horizontal drilling. While some areas of the country have similar prospects for oil, they are facing government intervention, which is preventing them from producing this oil."
