Okay, I think I've been pretty patient and dedicated in answering as many questions as I can (if I do say so myself). Now I want to know why people are avoiding *my* questions.

Laura, Shocked, Mary, Penny, answers please! Three series of questions:

1) Why do we not care that many people die in this country because of old oil- and coal-fired plants? I've mentioned this several times but it seems to fall on deaf ears. Do you not believe it? Should I send you the newspaper articles? Is it because we don't know these people? They're not our family? What happened to 'Think Globally, Act Locally'? Was it replaced by 'Think Locally, Screw the Other Guy'? Why, why, why?

2) Which do you believe is more harmful to your and your families' health? The current sand and gravel excavation and bituminous asphalt production, with its attendant blasting and diesel trucking? Or a state-of-the-art, highly regulated, combined cycle power plant? Which creates more particulants at ground level? Prove your answer and show your work.

3) Did you, or did you not, know how the real estate adjacent to your neighborhoods was zoned prior to your home purchase. If not, why not? Extra credit: Explain what sources you should use to get an authoritative answer in the future. (Hint: The real estate agent is not one of them. Don't get mad, Susan K!)

Answers, please. Neatness, spelling and diction will count toward your grade. ;-)
