  Wow

  That's really groundbreaking news.  I'll have to let my sons in on this secret.

  So cool

  So cool to hear the Danster's music.  I have to go to one of his gigs some day.

  No Offense Taken

  I grew up in Georgia, left at 24, lived in France and Canada (socialized medicine seemed OK to me)and moved to New Jersey.  After 17 years in the Northeast, I moved back to Georgia (long story).

  What I found in life is there is ignorance, shallowness and redneckness everywhere in some form or other.  The south is very blatant and approving of this attitude, and it has held the whole region back since the nation began.  Being educated is viewed as being "too big for your britches."

  It's not easy for people like me, but there's lots of good in the south and there's lots of good people.  

  I have to say that after decades of living in various places and then coming back to my hometown, I find the air filthy, the night sky blank, the beautiful country taken over by developers and sprawl.  I can't understand why people can't look out the window or try to breathe the air in Atlanta and then say "D'oh!" We have a problem.

  I need help

  http://www.ajc.com/search/content/metro/stories/2007/08/2 ...

  I live in Georgia which has had 4 weeks with temperatures hovering around and above 100 F.  Today we're breaking the record for 100 degree days in a summer season, and this is what our state officials spend time doing and concluding.

  I need someone like dear old Dave to send me a letter to the editor, short and sweet, with a few salient bullet points.  Then send me something to send to my incredibly stupid state government.

  We can't even walk outside, and they still think it's all hysterical hooha.

  Good for the Soul?

  I read Grist because it's funny, entertaining and informative.  I don't do it to baptize myself as a certified, faithful environmentalist who condemns the rest of the world.

  David is right.  Dave is always right.
