      XPost: phl.media, pa.politics, pa.ne.politics       From: mcs@yahoo.com              before you think it only affects me, the only thing you should know, is I       can still afford to write about it, many more can't and it will probably       affect many here someday. You dont' hear why people commit violence or get       drunk or need to get bombarded with asthma and respiratory meds all day and       who that affects. Chances are you don't hear from the people who drink all       day or are in welfare lines or in jails or grow up in gangs more often or       the kids victimized in more and more schools. Or the multitude who need       depression meds ( we need the most) .or hang on street corners but they are       there in great numbers. . You dont' hear why people get depressed here do       you? What is going on in our city or is all cities that produce the most       depression ( gave link already) Welfare and Social security officals who       dont' care or who are no qualified !!!. More and more people will eventually       treat others like they are treated by our govt and politicians although they       may not know why they act out or become violent... I would never ever hurt a       soul or animal because I understand my rage and get it out but I can't undo       the harm this air or depression or asthma brings.. This society is becoming       a Tale of Two Cities       > till our leaders do more for this city. its going downhill and I think       > many people will eventually fall to homelessness and violence and       > desperation.       > pretty sad       >       > this town has soo many problems and no one to do anything about them.       > Day after day of pollution- enjoy the outdoors from co2 enhanced       > greenery....?       > while many get asthma, no person from this area has won any major aerobic       > race or bike race or soccer match or football or hockey championship       > nationally in decades.

We get more       days without good air then most every place in the US. Can I prove it? I       don't know look at the map.. show me another major city who gets air that       isn't good as often. Realize some experts now think that good air is one of       the most important things to maintain good health.. and I agree although I              [continued in next message]              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
