Well, we *all* already knew that you care about people, Karen Kay. You show it here daily. It's good that you got a chance to see it, too.
As for feeling dense about not getting it, not only did an entire city council made up of elected officials not figure it out -- the environmentalists who brought it up in the first place not only didn't get it, THEY DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER TO CHECK ON IT!!! As far as I'm concerned, someone who reads one paragraph on a bulletin board and doesn't figure out something like this has nothing to feel dense about. That whole "dihydrogen monoxide" thing was deliberately misleading -- exactly how many times have you ever heard water described that way before in your entire life? I'm older than you are, and this was the first time I'd ever come across it.
Now, this I do gotta say: can you imagine the 14 year old kid who came up with this one? THAT is one clever kid, and I'm more than a little envious!
