Pat, you are correct again. We ARE the greatest society that ever was but.....we know it and aorse than that flaunt it to the point we no longer realize what we do. There is much good and Ihate to dwell on the bad but I prefer to say I emhazise the positive and deal with the negative. We shouldn't wear blinders when it affects so many and todya with the net et el we are going to have to learn to deal with the rest of the world and sometimes it WILL be on THEIR terms.

Wow, I didn't realize the Meadowland had that many complaints. Maybe when I was younger and went to a few concerts there it WAS because I was on MY time off and didn't bother to care either eigh? Ozzy can get pretty heavy. The dude can't talk but he CAN perform and sing!!

Richard lots of people don't like us and with good reason don't you think? As a society I don't think we're very nice. though we think we're pretty special.

Off to East Grand Lake camping for a few days. Leaving tomorrow. the rain has finally stopped. Our water tables here in northern Maine has run over. No drought for us but the rest of the state is still down. 2 weeks til school -- ick!!!
We have the same problems with the Dave Mathews crowds and the Ozzfest people. I heard this last weekend that people near the Meadows were complaining about the noise the Ozzfest bands were making............12 hours of heavy rock and roll on a hot, humid summer day is too much for some....................but, as one individaul said, it is their way of enjoying their time off and it is thier hard earned money that buys the tickets...........................
Patty, I lived in Laconia, NH and also Daytona Be, Fl and the kinds of events that used to be allowed are toned down and should be. Yes, there is alot of money coming in but I think people finally realize that its just not worth the aftermath. The Job Corps kids should have been sent home as they usually have enough of their own problems but unfortunately where you are there isn't much "extra" income and money talks. I know that Northern Vt got a tad disgusted with the Dead Concerts and a few others. I'll bet if it were put to a vote in your town it might not happen or be allowed to happen.

Had a great experience today. I'm getting envolved with one of the compaines that we are going to partner with and I had to give a presentation at their R&D center. Wow, talk about the 9th degree of technical questions. I learned much and am going back on fri to finalize the product. Its exsciting actually being envolved with creating new products and not just the liaison problem solving.
