Thirdly, you dont like property rights? What if you owned a bunch of restraunts that served meat and a anti-meat protestor kept barging into your restraunts yelling at customers or sitting on tables or blocking employees so they couldnt do their job. You think that person should have the right to do that forever?

She probably was being a bit annoying but you can't compare meat to fracking. Fracking has very serious, long term effects which are seemingly ignored by gas companies even though such are proven to have such bad impacts on man and nature. I don't see how anyone could have the right to frack on their own property as the contamination from fracking chemicals will spread beyond said property.  Unfortunately, as long as it's profitable, companies like Cabot won't care. I just find it reckless to make money knowing you are doing so from such enviromentally destructive practices.

Badgenome proves she is a bit of a crazy freak but i'm only concerned for protecting the environment and constitutional rights. It seems whoever has more money wins every time. 

Also, something like fracking has wide health risks on people who happen to live near these sites. What about their rights? 

You absolutely CAN compare meat to fracking. Both are legitmate business practices (regardless if you condone fracking or not it is not illegal) and therefore deserving of the same protections under the law. So, Ms. Vera and her sick, twisted, vile activities can and should go elsewhere.

As for your assertion that constitutional rights be protected, so I am guessing that if you are rich you have essentially traded your constitutional rights for all that wealth? The idea that rich automatically = evil is one twisted world view IMHO.

Fracking has no more adverse health effects than any other risky industry. In fact out of most of the current ways we get our energy it is one of the more safe ways of extracting energy products and the technique has actually been in use since the 1940s. With disingenuos claims made by films like Gasland (remember that flamable tap water stunt which is a naturally occring phenomenon that happens even in the absence of fracking) make wild innacurate and blatantly false claims the hysteria is getting out of control and the loony wing of environmentalism won't be happy until we are back to the stone ages. Hell, even then they won't want us burning wood for heat and light as many places around the US are even considering wood burning bans for that very same reason.
