   You may have a point. I just don't know how many have internet access and   
   know of the air quality. You assume they don't care. Maybe .   
      
     They have

   I definiteley agree with you. Its very difficult to get into a decent job   
   unless you are a certain type or you like working in fast food. It is a blue   
   collar working class town and often very mean spirited. But it works for   
   them, which is why maybe govt decided it could do whatever they want and no   
   one would complain.

   Well , I agree again but sadly I see how somethings are beyond ones control   
   I  wonder seriously how all this is connected to our air quality. When I get   
   an asthma attack, I can't concentrate or do anything but basic things. I   
   walk around mean and in the past I may not have known why or had breathing   
   problems , but now how much of all  this including crime isbecause of genes   
   or conditioning or both?  If you were poisoned would you be happy?

   Pretty much sadly enough.

   Your not alone, trust me . My friend says the same thing.   
   CC is different though, I think they are just naive.   
      
   > The politicians are crooked, begining with Rendells marionette J street.   
      
   Well I use to like Rendell but he knows what you know and he knows what   
   information and services they need. He doesn't stretch the envelope (not   
   sure if I said that right)

   I have been saying that for eons. Philly tv makes these people think they   
   are living in Wonderland..
