Leadore, Idaho never looked better and never looked back.

Her own bout of looking back, sifting through her values was tiring.

She now felt as if she had slogged through the toughest stretch of her thinking.

Her rage was tamed.  She was no longer disgusted with a public that didn’t seem to care.

But she still couldn’t help but wonder why so many people, perhaps most people, didn’t consider fracking dangerous.

She understood this was par for the course.  Look how long it had taken for the dangers of DDT to be widely recognized.

There had been a time communities boasted about spraying DDT to eradicate so called pests.  Planes flying through the air, dumping chlorinated hydrocarbons poison to kill insects.

Then the birds which fed on the poisoned insects fell from the sky.
