[pianotech] OT - Susan, Geology & Cutting Cable - was: cutting steel OT

[Susan Kline]

Hi, Terry

Good for you! I admire geologists!

In my part of the world, "socialist" is not a dirty word, and most of 
PBS seems right of center. Instead of telling
facts as they are, most news programs even on PBS tie themselves into 
bow knots  trying to pretend that the
two sides of ANY story are equally valid.

Noting how many global-warming-related natural disasters are affecting 
"red" states, one feels like asking
"how is that rabid denial thing working for you?" It made great 
politics, didn't it? Pretending science is all a
myth promulgated by "liberals" does appeal to lots of the uneducated, 
and it appeals to the powers that be
who don't want to slow down the profit train no matter the ecological 
consequences. A perfect way to get
low income people to vote against their best interests to pander to the 1%.

I'm a good person -- I'll add OT to the subject line.

Susan
