I know where you're coming from - living in a very liberal, very environmentally conscious and local business oriented community, I have a hard time going home and trying to explain to my family and high school friends still living in small town colorado (in terms they can understand) all the subjects you were talking about.

Even though my family are not the documentary-watching types usually, perhaps I can persuade them to watch this one. If only I could get them to watch the Wal-Mart movie at the same time...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22091550.post-1143814064562994852006-03-31T09:07:00.000-05:002006-03-31T09:07:00.000-05:00I'm proud of you.I'm proud of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22091550.post-1143781293463891842006-03-31T00:01:00.000-05:002006-03-31T00:01:00.000-05:00That was a great summary, Kate.
