Nathan,

I suggest that at the town meeting tomorrow, that you go along and rally
community support to get the oils to play live up there, in the style of the
exxon concert in new york in1990. This would do a great deal to bring
attention to the plight of this environmental catastrophe, ......as well as
providing some gratuitous entertainment for our benefit.
