hmm. thought provoking as usual Mob. I liked the analogies you used throughout this piece, although you usually use analogies to make your pieces stronger, this one was especially good.
I'm glad to see you haven't fallen off the face of the planet! I was beginning to wonder when you would next publish something.
Keep writing!

wow. i like the way you put a theme behind the whole story. you put it into the form of a weather report, an you intermingled a thing that was lost, reality. amazing writing. you were able to argue, persuade, convince, an just tell all with the same piece. america really does need a huge dose of reality before we can even begin to think that the storm might end.

Your back! Welcome back!

Typo: but, as usua, the sun hid behind a thick cloud of smog.
~forgot the l in usual.

I like the way you parallel teen problems with the climate change stuff everyone is talking about - it ties the piece together nicely at the end.

So true.

I do worry about Global Warming and stuff, but OJ Simpson? Paris Hilton? Who gives a **. Everyone. And it's the last thing we should be worrying about.

This is so, so true. It really hits deep.

Beautifully written. Keep it up!
