		<description>Comment from a reader sent in email:

--------

You know that it seems to me that the powers that be donot seem to give a rats ass and that they will not be happy until every bit of green space is covered in cement.  Luckily there is one rule or law that says for every parcel of land, 50% must be green.  They do not always adhere to it but it is a start.  If you were to ask the canidates that are runing for office about it, they would lie through their teeth and tell you some kind of BS.  They would only be campign promises and I think that everyone with an once of brains in their heads would recognize that fact.  Now ask the present administration, I bet they would give you even bigger lode of crap.  I am very concerned about the fact of what we as citizens will leave to our childrens an what we are teaching them.  I have this very good gut feeling that we will be leaving them a lode of crap to deal with unless we do something about the problems now.  There are an awful lot of alternative evengy sources out there and no one seem to care.  Some one shoudl take a good size baseball bat and go and knock some sence into the powers that be.  Trouble is they will not be around to see the mess that they have left us.</description>
