In northern Pennsylvania there are a lot of gas drilling activities going on. This industry has hired some local folks but mostly they ship in their employees from (what appears to be) mostly southern states. There are lots of local residents who are not impressed with the new comers and I imagine they might receive a warmer welcome if they minded their manners some. For exampe:

1. Drive on your own side of the road.
2. Do not push oncoming traffice off the road.
3. Throw your litter in the garbage can and not on the road on which I live.
4. My driveway is not an open turn around for large industrial trucks.
5. The speed limit on the back roads does not exceed 50 mph.
6. Turn signals are appreciated.
7. How about keeping the gutter language to a minimum in public places. Most of us really don't care about your sexual encounters.
8. General respect is a good thing.

I get that the industry is going to go on and drilling is going to take place whether I like it or not but wouldn't the community be a much nicer place if we all could show some common respect for each other. I know it's a bit much to ask....
