Quoted for the truth!

Tons of people are signing away mineral and exploration rights to their land on a 50 year lease and not thinking about the long term ramifications. It sucks when you sell those rights for a fraction of what they're worth in 20 years. It sucks even more when a survey team shows up and tells you to get the heck out because you're on top of a few barrels of oil or natural gas that they want to drill for...right in your living room.
