The problem with the idea that "fracking is so inherently dangerous", as Drew mentioned above, is being able to prove this, when it is corporations who favour tracking and who, in turn, de facto own the government.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort.
