[SOC] more BULLS*IT!!!! from adam

[Dan W. Dooley]

Wait a minute.  You guys are all wrong.  You're misjudging them completely.
The developers that is.

They ARE concerned about preserving the natural beauty of the areas they
develop.  They ARE sensitive to the environmental impact on the natural
unspoiled views and the habitat.  After all, look how dedicated they are and
standing by their convictions when it comes to those ugly, unsightly
antennas.  Why, they're protecting the beauty and the harmony when they say
no wires or eyesore metal structures such as towers or verticals or anything
of that sort are allowed.  Just look how much better the views are without
all that stuff sticking up above those natural earth-friendly shingled
roofs.  Even wires in the trees could be harmful to the natural beauty.

Lighten up guys, give 'em credit where credit is due.
