Once again this isn't what I asked of you. I asked you to supply *evidence* that you have, and are, helping people in Philadelphia NOW in a direct way, by your direct involvement(volunteerism), either with people or organizations that could use your help. > I think two or three people responded that I helped get them >to safer environments. You think? Wow... If you actually knew you'd answer me. You'd tell me exactly what organizations you are working with not just about clean air issues(you won't even speak about any involvement with these guys: http://www.cleanair.org/ because, you're not involved are you?) But other non-profit organizations like Manna that could use passionate people like you. Manna is just the kind of group that might help you not be so down about some of the awful things that happen here. They're a fabulous group doing wonderful things for people in need. > Since I started posting, more and more people are >paying more and more for cleaner places to live.You on the other hand said >for the longest time the air was fine and no one was being harmed in your >family. I never said the air was fine. I did say that the air is better than it was when I was a child and much younger person. I have vivid memories of walking in Center City in the late 1960s and having to hold my breath. I haven't had an experience like that in and around the places I go to in this area in over 30 years. I never said the air couldn't harm people; obviously it's harming you. I said *I'M* fine and no one in my family is affected, apparently, by the local air quality. In fact no one I know is being unduly affected by the air and I know a lot of people. Interestingly we're not all that far apart in beliefs. You just think we are. It's one reason I keep talking to you while a lot of others are bored with your rhetorical style of writing. They just think you have several screws loose. I don't believe that.
