Eaton, Idaho heard the news secondhand.  It came from sly side of the mouth voices.

They were the shrill voices of the lobbyist, fine-tuned to dismantle and discredit.

They were handsomely paid to drown out the horrors of massive hydraulic fracking.

Those patriotic, free enterprise voices so dismissive of science were inconvenienced by simple truths.

They were laced with greed so pungent it stained their dismally tailored off the rack  suits.

Eaton, Idaho heard those voices and had the good sense to ignore them.
