Earlier this week, I caught Jon Stewart interviewing the author/filmographer Josh Fox regarding the documentary Gasland. Two days later, while the wife and I were awaiting the beginning of our television programming of choice and had a couple of hours to kill. Normally we'd read, the neither of us had anything started and I flipped over to HBO and found the beginning of Gasland.

It took about two minutes for me to get involved in the program and two minutes later my wife exclaimed "Halliburton is much worse than Bin Laden!" when Dick Cheney made his first appearance. I sat and watched and absorbed the horror in silence.

When the gentleman in Colorado set his faucet effluence on fire at the tap, my wife began calling friends and suggesting they watch the documentary. For the past two days, she's told everyone, especially those with children to watch Gasland.

That's it! After two presidential elections in Nevada and a life spent trying to be a common sense voter and not relying on my party affiliation, I have decided along with my wife to vote a straight ticket ballot for the first time in my life. The surprise? A life-long Republican, I will cast every vote at my disposal for Democrats in 2006. Read More
