   Yes I realize who is in office. If it wasn't for this issue I may have   
   bought the Presidents other connections , but somehow I think they are all   
   connected and now don't. I think many people who come onto the net still   
   don't see the correlation's and perhaps maybe I gave them an issue to work   
   on or something think about.I do hear a tad defensive tone to your   
   response.Do you have a vested interested in keeping the status quo in Philly   
   somehow , even though you definitely sound more reasonable then the others   
   who responded ? Because the President won and made or pushed through a   
   policy, doesn't mean change can't happen. If more people can only see how   
   important clean air is, (Psychologists sometimes talk about getting oxygen   
   to the brain to provoke calmer , and clearer thoughts), then perhaps we   
   might see that utilizing oil may not be the best choice considering the   
   costs to our health and productivity. I personally was surprised this   
   correlation between bad health and even mild bad air was published because.   
   I was so set in thinking my views and what I saw was too uniquely honest for   
   this government , even a free government that I didn't think it would ever   
   see the light of day. I guess eventually someone would conclude if we are   
   using emergency services for asthma more often and durg companies are   
   selling allergy and asthma medication like its the new viagra , then perhaps   
   they better tell the truth..So one day we might use our connections to   
   really push this concept of having to use oil and pollute our air to the   
   side of the road and instead foster saner solutions for our environment and   
   our youth and society. The Us is only as good as the health of our nation   
   and I am absolutely convinced we are losing the traditional links of the US   
   being the good role model we should or use to be . Sorry for any grammar   
   mistakes.
