   I realize that there is pollution and is a by-product of industrialization.    
   The   
   level at which you find intolerable, yet far below the levels of 4 & 5 decades   
   ago.

   Write or call Senator McCain and see what you can do other than whine.

   Have you considered how the steel industry has been hurt with clean air   
   standards?   
   Then realize what other competing countries spew into the atmosp   
   ere........Oh, yes,   
   there is a delicate balance that you are being impractical about.

   Go ahead, but you will have little impact on usenet.  If you are really   
   concerned   
   about pollution and the crime in your neighborhood, you would become active   
   and join   
   block watch and environmental groups.

   It does, but you wish to close your eyes and shake your head "no".

   The amount of smokers is irrelevent.  And smoking cigarettes is a life choice,   
   just   
   as it is for you to remain or move from Philadelphia.

   I do believe you are paranoid.  Regardless, placing labels as to my sexual   
   orientation is irrelevent and does not increase your credibility one iota.   
      
   Posting in usenet doesn't fix the problem either.  If you were really   
   interested in   
   making change you would take suggestions from myself and others, becoming   
   involved in organizations that can make a difference.
