First, there are regulatory agencies in every state that monitor the drilling activities for wells. You better not get caught leaving the area your leased. They will make you close it in. Second, a directional well is going to be less than two miles horizontally. So you wouldn't get very far across the state line. As far as Oklahoma, we have used fracing on thousands of wells for forty years. We're still here. We're still intact. No fire water here.

Very good points. If the process works very well, they will go around 1,000 feet. Given they are below layers of impermeable rock, it's not an issue.

It's a standard good versus evil plot. Hollywood uses it a lot because it has happened many times in human history. If you are waiting for an original plot to come out of Hollywood you better not hold your breath.

The difference is that Cameron didn't force anybody to do anything. If the hapless movie goers saw the movie it was because they chose to use their disposable income. If it was the right decision or wrong decision it doesn't matter. It was theirs to make.

LOLOL You should be a fiction writer. That's a very good job imposing your religious/ethnic beliefs on two different types of stories. Have you ever heard the old saying "If you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail"? That means you are limited/blinded by your perceived circumstances and view every situation in life through those constraints.

Saying that would be like me watching the nightly Detroit news and saying "black people suck", and about tonight's events "black people suck against each other", which is equally weird because the anchor man is black. The truth is not a single ethic group on earth is perfect. All have fought wars amongst themselves and against other groups. We kill, rape, and pillage to take what we want. Need some examples? Open a history book, pick a time frame, and read stuff that is more shocking than a fiction writer could ever hope to come up with. Cameron was simple modeling the future on our past.

Then you shouldn't judge a book by its cover/a movie by its trailer. This movie has a stunning look to it. If you think all creatures that have blue skin are nothing but smurfs you have a very limited mind. Grow up, open your mind, and go see the movie.
