6477. GENERAL MIAMI

GENERAL MIAMI
In this business, every fissure and each leak
in the ground has to mean money : we can cut
and churn, fir trees be damned, and anything
in the way comes down. Remember the farmer
in the dell? Well he can go to Hell. There's nothing
like forever when you're standing in the way  -  and
all you have, and all you own, is ours. For all
practical purposes, gentlemen, we own the land 
and we own the air, the water and the entire
valley hereabouts. Press, press, crack, crack.
This land yields product, just as it once
yielded coal, or oil. We frack.
