This news report has lessons for those of us concerned with how other peoples are defending their land & resources from the hazards of resource exploitation and mining. The corporate, mining culture, is colonial in nature, regardless of nations & borders. Bechtel, Exxon & Haliburton will colonize, with the complicity of elected officials & private land owners, the Finger Lakes for our natural gas as quickly as any other part of the country or globe. Local struggles have a global impact.Water is universal. Tony Del Plato

It first does something to the hearts and souls of those committed to it. It gives them new self-respect; it calls up resources of strength and courage they did not know they had.
