Nothing special

This week is starting out like all other weeks except that I learned that my co-worker is leaving the firm next week and that the firm is moving to new space in late 2004. That is probably enough news in the office for this week but it won't be.

I am really ticked off about the plans of devlopers for thousands of acres near Lake Tahoe. They would create a city bigger than Truckee, California which has remained relatively stable in it population over a number of years. So why does the area need a city that is bigger than Truckee other than trying to make a huge hunk of money? The rape of this planet has got to stop.

Apparently Placer County officials are willing to go along with this plan so I can only assume that they only see dollar signs dancing in front of their eyes. They are blind to the tremendous amount of harm that this project will do to the Sierra Nevada region.

We have trash TV, trashy movies, unhealthy food, trashy music, dishonest CEOs, dishonest government, oh, the list goes on and on, and we are creating an uninhabitable planet for future generations. I wonder where and when the next big asteroid collision will occur. Sometimes I think that this planet needs to start all over again.
