PJ - My apologies. I made an erroneous assumption reinforced by ST's post. I also have no clue if the guy you know was writing while wearing his team jersey or his jammies. I simply recoil whenever I smell partizan politics entering into what I consider to be rather important deliberations that politics and a deference to some ism will probably muck up.

I want to again stress the fact that I am still up in the air about this project. But I am trying to add facts to the discussion as much as I can.

Akula's (in particular but there were others for me) willingness to add knowledgeable input has been most helpful-IMO as he seems an objective, knowledgeable bystander. To me, this thread hasn't been as much about justifying, defending or promoting an opinion as it is about offering concerns and insights that may help others develop their own.

I recently made a crack about 13 million (and my own $400) in stimulus money in another thread so the $5,000,000.00 EIS seems like, well, lip service or (less offensive?) going through the motions to me.

Honestly, I only have a superficial interest beyond:
"If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it."

My hope is anyone willing to add their two cents (   (You need to Login or Register ) has done their own due diligence and has other tried and true redactive ways to gather whatever information they feel is meaningful to them. Tickety tick. A penny for your thoughts, or is it money talks? I'm thinking the latter.

Oh and my earlier link with the smiley?
