Cell tower solution

---

A group of us play bridge in the common living area of the Summit Apartments. Every now and then generous organizations come by and leave us stuff. One day, no sooner had I said "three, no trump" than in came big boxes of stuff. Pampers. That's a lot of incontinence. I remarked that these diapers were a metaphor for the woes of American society.

A large chorus is calling for a cell phone tower on Galena, usually relying on the "safety" argument. Americans have become junkies, needing their fix of being connected at all cost. A patina of reason is all that is needed to maintain the habit.

The cell tower is a Trojan horse. Once the precedent has been set, other intrusions will follow—ask any lawyer. The feds are making noise about communication capabilities, so I've come up with the perfect solution for the SNRA that will make everyone happy. Fence it off. Put in an "off limits" high-security data communications center there. Once fenced off, this very large area will become like many other such places in the West, like Rocky Flats. It will immediately become a haven for wildlife and biodiversity in general. Animals and plants love places where there are no people, ever. Environmentalists can't object, nor can the feds, the junkies or the legion of the fearful.
