Last week’s oil industry conference at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Houston was supposed to be an industry confab just like any other — a series of panel discussions, light refreshments and an exchange of ideas.
It was a gathering of professionals to discuss “media and stakeholder relations†in the hydraulic fracturing industry — companies using the often-controversial oil and gas extraction technique known as “fracking.â€

Boy, I wouldn't walk across the street to piss on you if you were on fire but I would gladly take out many years of frustration for being called the most despicable things one can call a country's defenders on your filthy horde. Does that answer your question?
