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.

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.

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.
