My opinion [In reply to] Can't Post

I was looking to see if someone started a thread on this--didn't look hard enough I guess. But if you want my opinion, I started a thread too. It's a big long post and I don't have time to repost it, so if anyone is interested and hasn;t seen it, my opinion is on Main, too.

PS. Gramma, I know you'e an eternal optimist about everything, and I hate to rain on your sense of estel (I wish we all had it!) but I just don't see this as being true to the spirit of Tolkien, to put it mildly. The bulldozing thing is a big reason why.

And theme parks...well, IMO, they are such a 20th-cntury idea. A great thing when energy, water, and food are cheap, but that time has long passed, though most people are only beginning to become aware of that fact. I could go on about this, but I won't. I'm a member of our local chapter of the Transition Town movement, (google it--it's become a global thing) which seeks to make communites aware of these issues and help people live more sustainably. I have to admit such things colr a lot of my opinions these days. If anyone else wants me to explore this further, PM me.
