Semi-political and Mildly-heated Rant

Let me apologize in advance.

I apologize. 

You may now read on.

How much sense does this make?

• Getting upset about the poor air quality in Logan, Ut. (sure, I can see that).

• Holding a rally on behalf of the elderly, the pregnant, and the young who are the most likely to be affected by the poor air quality. (logical and somewhat noble, even).

• Holding said rally outdoors on a red air day. (uh. . .).

• Inviting the elderly, the pregnant, and the young to participate in said rally in the aforementioned outdoor location on a red air day. (yes, this is happening).

• Driving to said rally in your V8 Suburban. (you'd better hope you park a couple blocks away).

• Bringing your own four year old child to this rally. (sigh).

• Standing outside, in the bitter, winter cold, and not changing anything.

How about an alternative situation?

• Getting upset about the poor air quality in Logan, Ut.

• Recognizing that some of your own personal habits don't line up with what you would like to see other people do.

• Changing these habits, preferably one at a time. (let's not get too crazy).

• Setting the example for friends and neighbors.

• Sitting inside, eating a bagel, thinking about how if nothing else, you've at least changed yourself.

And that is my semi-political, mildly heated rant for the year. Let's not be dumb.
