Dan - you are certainly right about development in the country. That is exactly what has happened to Branson. When I vacationed in the area back in the sixties, Branson was really a nice, rural area with lots of country and very little traffic. Now it is just one tourist draw after another, and the traffic is terrible! It has transitioned from a quaint little country town to just another crowded tourist trap. Even though I am only two hours away, I avoid Branson and their "attractions". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> Tom

Get this crap. The Forest Preserves in our area..... The only green way that Chicago has and one of the only cities to have one has very crappy funding... So what do they want to do? Sell of sections.... Obviously PRESERVE means nothing. I am so pissed about this! People need to be more aware of the loss of country because it is happening to quickly. And the people around here need to be aware of the fact that this is a unique environment that will disappear quickly to money grubbing bastards! Also th immigration increase does not help because it pushes others out of the citiy into the suburbs and in turn pushes them out into the country.

The whole [censored] thing makes me sick and I am glad for the fact that I am able to document what I find because even the local archaeologists don't care... The only care if there is a road to be built... The don't TRY to even find these spots for research.... WHILE they still exist. They just moan that it is disappearing ! The whole thing makes me sick! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />
