p>While I admire and share so very many of Ms. King's views on life and American society, I devoutly wish that I had acquired even half of her knowledge and talent with the English language -- grammatically, logically, and creatively. Ms. King, you have abandoned us to the enemy. br> -- Ken Shreve br> New Hampshire (Formerly of the Wash. D.C. area) /p> p> ON THE ROAD AGAIN br> Re: RiShawn Biddle's Malthus's Quarreling Children : /p> p>Another wedge issue that could be developed among Sierra Club members is road construction. The economic development angle is a rising consideration in both state and federal departments of transportation. The alleged jobs that roads have a potential for creating puts a few members of the Sierra Club in strange territory. They want to support the program that offers jobs but they don't want to build anything that might have an economic impact if it simultaneously has an environmental impact. The exaggerated claims of jobs vs. the exaggerated claims of ecological catastrophe leaves the intellectually lazy in an unenviable dilemma. br> -- Danny L. Newton br> Cookeville, Tennessee
