While researching my Oct. 9, 2012, column on the mysterious old adobe building that darn near became the Museum of Western Colorado in the 1960s, I gave a call to Angelo Colunga whose family built nearly every adobe building in Grand Junction from Mantey Heights to the Redlands to Orchard Mesa.
Angelo's Uncle Rudy Colunga is 89 and lives in Denver. Uncle Rudy's son Gene sent over some photos of their grandfather, Eleno Colunga, during its construction, probably in the 1940s although no one knows yet what it was originally built to be. Uncle Rudy has Alzheimer's and has few memories left. The old adobe sat just west of the Mesa County Fairgrounds and can be seen in the older aerial photos on the county assessor's website.
George Adams of Grand Junction sent me a nice letter; he called one day and I asked him to write his memories down so I could share them. His wrote:
What I remember is the menu at Gay Johnson's Restaurant at First and Grand, the eating place that was remodeled from a gas station. The remodeler was Lawrence Onan who was pastor of Columbus Community Church on Unaweep Avenue on Orchard Mesa at the same time. My fiance and now wife of 45 years would eat there after choir practice Saturday nights at First Assembly of God. It was youth choir, so that was our Saturday night activity. Lots of Sunday dinners were eaten there too, both before and after our marriage. The menus featured Gus the Ranch Hand. He was sitting in front of a stack of pancakes. In one hand was a fork. In the other was a table knife. Each held vertically on either side of the stack. Gus was a skinny, scruffy old bald guy. Also on the menu was Stan the Steer, a skinny on steer that "represented" the beef served. Then there was Roscoe the Rooster. He advertised the "fried" chicken served. They all three were caricatures or cartoons.
I worked for City market in 1961-1962. Our boss was Joe Prinster. One day the truck we used to take meat to the other stores would not start. In the process of trying to start by pushing it with the company pick-up, we broke both pick-up headlights. We were sure we were in trouble. When we told Joe, he just said, "Well, we will just have to fix it." He never gave any of us grief.
I graduated from Grand Junction High School in 1960 when tuition at Mesa College was $25 a quarter. The cafeteria and Student Center were in an old Army barracks. The "new" Student Center and cafeteria and other rooms were built during that time. We got to use them during our final quarter of college. Now that building is gone. It was wonderful. Now, like the song, "They moved paradise and put up a parking lot."
Malise Graham took me to the woodshed about my article on Feb. 8 about Jeanne Harper, the local legendary dance instructor. Her note reads:
While I read this article with interest, as a Scot I was disturbed by your use of "Scotch." Scotch is whiskey! Scottish is the correct word to use in that context. One could say: He is of Scots (or Scottish) descent but not 'Scotch descent.' The Scots also get a little peeved at the use of "England" when referring to Great Britain! Aye, Malise Graham
In my own defense and for the sake of preserving Miss Ida Jean Harper's legacy, "Babe" Harper herself and the "Caledonians" celebrating the Robert Burns Days called them Scotch Dances. Maybe it was the way they referred to those types of dances back then. I googled it and found many references to "Scotch Dances" on the internet, many of them contemporary.
Joan Porter Fifield of Grand Junction was a bit more pleased than Malise with my Jeanne Harper story. She called to tell me that she took lessons from Miss Harper as a young girl living at 1224 Main St. and attending Lincoln Park Elementary School. Born Joan Porter in the "old" St. Mary's Hospital on Colorado Avenue, she went on to attend Grand Junction Junior High, High School, Mesa Junior College and Western State College. She especially remembers the elaborate costumes that her mother sewed for the recitals. I found Joan's name in the many clippings in Jeanne Harper McQuaid's scrapbooks.
Thank you for sharing and thank you for reading!

Battery Tips
- How To Maximize the Performance of Laptop Battery SAMSUNG q25 txc758?
- 1.Breaking In New Batteries - new replacement battery q25 txc758 batteries come in a discharged condition and must be fully charged before use. It is recommended that you fully charge and discharge your new battery two to four times to allow it to reach its maximum rated capacity.
- 2.Preventing the Memory Effect - Keep your laptop batteries samsung q25 txc758 healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-ion batteries which do not suffer from the memory effect.
- 3.Keep Your Batteries Clean - It's a good idea to clean dirty q25 txc758 battery contacts with a cotton swab and alcohol. This helps maintain a good connection between the battery and your portable device.
- 4.Exercise Your Battery - Do not leave your samsung q25 txc758 batteries dormant for long periods of time. We recommend using the battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a battery has not been used for a long period of time, perform the new battery break in procedure described above.
- 5.Battery Storage - If you don't plan on using the samsung q25 txc758 laptop battery for a month or more, we recommend storing it in a clean, dry, cool place away from heat and metal objects. Ni-Cd, NiMH and Li-ion samsung batteries will self-discharge during storage; remember to break them in before use. Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) batteries must be kept at full charge during storage. This is usually achieved by using special trickle chargers. If you do not have a trickle charger, do not attempt to store SLA batteries for more than three months.
- 6.For Notebook Users - To get maximum performance from your q25 txc758 notebook battery, fully optimize the notebook's power management features prior to use. Power management is a trade off: better power conservation in exchange for lesser computer performance. The power management system conserves battery power by setting the processor to run at a slower speed, dimming the screen, spinning down the hard drive when it's not in use and causing the machine to go into sleep mode when inactive. Your laptop user's guide will provide information relating to specific power management features.

Pence announces $125,000 grant awarded to SAAC program
U.S. Congressman Mike Pence announced earlier this week that the Adams County Substance Abuse Awareness Council was awarded a $125,000 grant by the Office of National Drug Control Policy under the Drug Free Communities Support Program.
"This grant will be used to help Adams County in its goal of creating a healthy, safe and drug free community," observed Pence. "I commend the Adams County Substance Abuse Awareness Council for being one of 87 new grantees selected from 452 applicants."
"Coalitions receiving DFC funds are expected to work with leaders within their communities to identify and address local youth substance abuse problems and create sustainable community-level change through environmental strategies," said SAAC official Beth Ralston. "The goals of the Drug Free Communities
Support Program are to increase community collaboration and reduce youth substance abuse."
Ralston noted that SAAC includes members from the following sectors of our community: youth, parents, business, school, youth-serving organizations, law enforcement, religious, civic, state, government and other organizations involved in reducing substance abuse. SAAC has a community partnership with each of the three county public schools: Adams Central, North Adams and South Adams. In addition, there are partnerships with the Anti-Tobacco Committee and the SAAC Parent Advisory Committee. All of these partnerships are working toward the same goals.
Ralston noted that the federal grant is actually a five-year $625,000 grant divided equally into $125,000 each of the five years.
"We have to reapply each year, but due to the fact that the grant has been approved, we have the opportunity and an open door to continue to apply," said Ralston.
To qualify for these matching grants, awardees must have at least a six-month history of working together on youth substance use reduction initiatives, have representation from 12 required sectors of the community, develop a long-term plan to reduce youth substance abuse and participate in the National Evaluation of the DFC program.
"The Adams County Substance Abuse Awareness Council wishes to thank all our partners for the work that has been done and continues to be done within the community towards reducing the negative affects of substance abuse," said Ralston. "Due to this community work, we were able to secure this grant."
Locally, the South Adams SAAC group is promoting various ways to publicize the mission of the organization at home football games. At the first game, the group promoted drug-free living with chuck-a-duck contest. Participants would spin the magic wheel and would answer a question that corresponded with the color they landed on. A correctly answered question gave the participant a numbered "rubber ducky" to hold on to until halftime of the game.
After the announcer called for all "duck chuckers" to the railing at the front of the home stands, the contestants were shown five hoop targets lying on the track, including one solitary orange pylon. When the whistle blew, everybody chucked their duck toward the targets. Any duck that landed inside the hoops was matched with its thrower's number and they were given a coupon for a free candy bar at the concession stand. The one closest to the pylon, Corbin Swygart, was awarded a hot, fresh pizza, following the game.
"It was fun to see the kids lined up ready to answer the questions," commented senior Arie Teeter. "It's a good feeling to know we are expanding their knowledge about how harmful drugs can be."
Evan Liechty, a junior, said that it was "really cool" seeing the 130 people who participated in promoting "no substance abuse."
"It was cool to get the opportunity to teach kids about how drugs are bad for you, especially in this public place," commented senior Charlie Hirschy.
"Being a 'newbie' to the SAAC team, it is really cool to see the team come together and make a difference so drug use decreases in our community," commented junior Alexis Ford.
Sheila Graber, staff sponsor, said that the team did an awesome job pulling the project together. She was excited about the way they tuned in the younger kids, and the way that the SAAC members communicated the message of reducing the negative affects of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in the community.
"All the supplies for the chuck-a-duck were purchased with grant money to promote awareness and educate people," said Graber. There are startling statistics for Adams County that students in grades six, seven and eight (some younger) are faced with the choice to partake or avoid substances, many habits start in this age range, especially with spit tobacco.
"Another focus of this project is to alert parents and partner with them to provide homes that are safe for their children to hang out, free from substance access," continued Graber. "You can expect to see chuck-a-duck at future home contests for other sports. Our team wants to prove there are great alternatives to using substances, and I am most privileged to work with this amazing group of student role-models."

Northern Stranglethorn features beautiful blue skies, clear water, warm beaches and impressively low drop rates on quest items. HOWEVER. It also has my baby Lashtail Hatchling.
My baby Lashtail Hatchling was stolen because somebody wanted to voodoo some troll body. Then the troll jerk stole my baby which made me Very Displeased. NATURALLY I quested fervently in an attempt to gain back my baby. A Super Awesome and Fantastic Quest was when I got to mind control my baby and lead her out of Zul'Gurub. It was utterly heartbreaking to get right to the gate and be captured again, ugh!
You are told to come back when you are stronger and hopefully you'll be able to save your little hatchling. AND COME BACK I DID. (A few hours later after returning to my computer. /cough) With the help of The Boyfriend and some friends we absolutely crushed Zul'Gurub and I was able to rescue my baby!

Wonders of the Galápagos Islands: A Voyage of Discovery
Sail aboard the M.V. Santa Cruz and discover every nature lover's dream come to life on the Galápagos Islands
Tour Details
- Insights from the West of Ireland
- Fabulous shots from Smithsonian Journeys Expert Kirt Kempter
- Visiting Mount Fuji, by way of rural Japan
- Saturday in Pamplona
The Galápagos Islands comprise a mysterious landscape of wonder, beauty, and the most unusual wildlife found anywhere on Earth. Each day this fascinating World Heritage site offers fresh vistas and astounding wildlife, including Blue-footed Boobies, sea lions, seals, Sally Lightfoot crabs, penguins, flamingoes, and giant land tortoises. Learn about this amazing destination, made famous by Charles Darwin, from a highly qualified team of experts, including Carol Simon and Howard Topoff, as you enjoy a four-night cruise aboard our ship, which is outfitted with a fleet of Zodiacs, glass-bottom boat, and snorkeling gear. Although our schedule is dependent on weather, sea conditions, and National Park Service regulations, your Galápagos voyage will be an exciting adventure. Plus, during two days in Quito, you'll enjoy a tour featuring the Old City, a World Heritage site, and an excursion to the Equator. An optional six-night Peru extension is also available.
Day 1 — U.S./Quito, Ecuador
Fly to Quito and transfer to the HILTON COLON QUITO, ideally located near one of the city's colorful markets. Surrounded by snowcapped peaks, yet only miles from the Equator, the city is known for its magnificent Spanish colonial architecture and lively street life.
Day 2 — Quito
Quito is a city of startling contrasts, where thousands of years of native South American tradition are interwoven with imported Catholicism, the Spanish language, and European culture. Quaint family-owned shops and open-air markets are steps away from gleaming skyscrapers and ornate Spanish Baroque-style cathedrals favored by the Conquistadors. On the city tour, visit the Museo Nacional del Banco Central's Archaeological Gallery and Golden Court and the noble, 16th-century Iglesia (Church) de San Francisco. Continue to the heart of Quito, a World Heritage site, and see the Moorish-influenced Catedral Metropolitana and Iglesia de La Compañía de Jesus, renowned for its lavish interiors decorated with an estimated seven tons of gold leaf.
This evening, attend a private Welcome Reception in the hotel. (B,R)
Day 3 — Quito
Journey to the Equatorial Monument at zero degrees latitude. Stand with one foot in each hemisphere in the "middle of the world," where an 18th-century multinational expedition located the Equator and established for the first time an accurate measurement of the earth's size. Step inside the hundred-foot-tall pyramidal monument to this endeavor and tour the Ethnographic Museum, ten levels of exhibits illustrating the diversity of Ecuador's indigenous peoples. Afterward, enjoy lunch in a restaurant with a view of the vast Pululahua volcanic crater. (B)
Day 4 — Quito, Baltra, Galápagos Islands, Santa Cruz
Fly to the small Galápagos island of Baltra. Embark the M.V. SANTA CRUZ in time for lunch, followed by your first briefing by the English-speaking Ecuadorian naturalists.
Santa Cruz Island's alluring white beaches, giant prickly pear cactus forests, vibrantly colored flamingos, and prehistoric-looking iguanas make it an ideal introduction to the archipelago. Cruise aboard Zodiacs along beautiful mangrove-lined islets and seek out Blue- and Red-footed Boobies, great frigate birds, and brown pelicans. Make a landing in the surf at Las Bachas Beach, and explore a small lagoon favored by elegant wading birds, including black-necked stilts and golden eagles. Attend the Captain's Welcome Reception this evening. (B,L,R,D)
Please note that the M.V. Santa Cruz's specific itinerary and cruise pattern is dependent on weather, sea conditions, and Galápagos National Park Service regulations.
Day 5 — Santiago
Enjoy the scenic beauty of Santiago Island's Buccaneer Cove surrounded by dramatic volcanic cliffs where hundreds of sea birds perch. Go ashore for a closer look at wildlife, much like the British pirates, sailors, and whalers did in the 18th and 19th centuries while using this protected harbor as a safe haven, making repairs, and gathering salt, fresh water, and firewood.
Later, in Puerto Egas at low tide, walk beside the best tide pools in the Galápagos. Look for land iguanas and marine iguanas—the world's only seagoing iguanas—grazing on algae beds along the rocky shore. Nearby, observe fur seals and sea lions swimming in the grotto's turquoise pools. (B,L,D)
Day 6 — Rábida, Bartolomé
Make a wet landing on the mesmerizing red sands of Rábida Island. Walk among sea lions and marine iguanas and see a variety of birds, including mockingbirds, yellow warblers, and nine species of Darwin's legendary finches. Continue inland to the island's unique saltwater pond to search for its famous bright pink flamingos.
This afternoon, make a dry landing on the tiny isle of Bartolomé. From the top of Cerro Bartolomé, enjoy unsurpassed views of lunar-like craters, mangroves, and lava formations. Particularly impressive is Pinnacle Rock, a jagged tower of honeycombed stone that extends 225 feet into the air. Below, the island's pristine beaches and sparking clear water are ideal for swimming and watching the antics of tropical penguins. Also, look for dolphins, manta ray,s and an abundance of colorful sea creatures from the comfort of a glass-bottom boat. (B,L,D)
Day 7 — Genovesa
The remote northern island of Genovesa offers unforgettable bird-watching in the archipelago and is home to the world's largest colony of Red-footed Boobies. Following a dry landing at Prince Philip's Steps, walk up to a broad lava flow overlooking the sea, one of the best places to see the masked faces of Nazca Boobies and flurries of tiny storm petrels swirling above.
Cruise into Darwin Bay, inhabited by fur seals, hammerhead sharks, and swallow-tailed gulls, and make a wet landing for a more leisurely stroll on a coral beach. Among the prickly pear cacti, saltbush, and red mangroves, look for magnificent frigate birds, yellow-crowned night herons, and four types of Darwin's finches. Attend the Captain's Farewell Reception this evening. (B,L,R,D)
Day 8 — San Cristóbal, Guayaquil, Ecuador
Upon arrival at San Cristóbal, where Darwin first landed in 1835, and view the giant tortoises—the largest in the world—at the Cerro Colorado breeding station.

The station protects the young tortoises until they are able to survive in their natural habitat.
Then fly to Guayaquil and enjoy dinner with wine in the deluxe HILTON COLÓN HOTEL before your late evening departure to the U.S., or overnight in Guayaquil to continue on to the Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley Post-Tour Option. (B,D)

ALPA's Policy Paper
In this year's edition of
Leveling the Playing Field
, the third edition of ALPA's policy paper, the Association provides the blueprint lawmakers need to make U.S. airlines viable companies in the global marketplace. With the deck stacked against the United States, it's vital that the U.S. government act on the issues threatening the airline industry. The U.S. airline industry is in survival mode, and only the strongest (and/or best funded) will rise above the noise in Washington, D.C.

Action Needed to
Deny NAI #4
On September 2nd the DOT dismissed NAI's application for exemption to have a permit to operate services in the U.S. This decision marks a significant and important stand for fair competition and ensuring a level playing field for U.S. airlines and U.S. workers.
While we are very pleased with this preliminary decision, this only puts the Norwegian Air International scheme on hold. We must continue to fight to ensure that this scheme is put to rest entirely.

Call to Action:
Support Reforms to Export-Import Bank Reauthorization to Protect U.S. Aviation Jobs
The Export-Import Bank (Bank) authorization expires on June 30, 2015, which is not much time to impress upon lawmakers that targeted, pragmatic reforms must be included in any legislation. Simply put, the Bank must stop financing widebody aircraft for foreign airlines that are state-owned or state-sponsored or which are credit-worthy. We urge ALPA members to take action now to Level the Playing Field for U.S. airlines and to protect our jobs! It's critical that pilots act now! Failure to act means the Bank will enable our foreign competitors to drive U.S. carriers out of routes costing pilots' jobs and future opportunities. Stand up for your job and our industry by contacting your members of Congress. You can read more

Call to Action:
Support the Saracini Aviation Safety Act of 2013
In 2001, Congress mandated the installation of reinforced cockpit doors on most commercial aircraft as the first step toward preventing another 9/11-style breach of the cockpit. Airlines are required to use procedures to protect the cockpit when the reinforced door is opened during flight for pilots' meals, restroom use, and other reasons. To provide better security, secondary barriers were developed to block access to the cockpit whenever the cockpit door is open during flight. Voluntary airline industry movement toward adopting secondary barriers began in 2003, but commitment to deploying these devices has since waned. H.R. 1775/S. 1495, the Saracini Aviation Safety Act of 2013 simply fulfills Congress's intent from more than a decade ago to make cockpits more secure. Tell you representatives to cosponsor this bill today!

Call to Action:
The Safe Skies Act of 2013
The Safe Skies Act has been reintroduced! Like its predecessor in the 112th Congress, the Safe Skies Act of 2013 will correct the oversight made by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in its final regulations (FAR 117) to address pilot fatigue for passenger airlines only. The rules excluded cargo airline operations from mandatory compliance. For decades, ALPA has advocated for "One Level of Safety" for the simple reason that all pilots and airline operations should be treated equally regardless of payload or flight mission. Contact your representative today to urge them to support the Safe Skies Act and achieve One Level of Safety.

Dearest Readers of PoT
P.S. If anyone knows how to use the new 'Page' widget in Blogger, let me know. It's so not intuitive.

I like the new design -- it's definitely more pleasant for reading, and it still looks good. I think it would be nice to "dim" the white background though.

Like the new design, Cortez. I didn't really dislike the last one, but this is cool.
Funny you mention the page widget because I was just trying to work on it now.

Ha ha, it's so funny how changing the side bar from one side to another can throw my equilibrium off! I dig the new look and it is easier to read. I love the new blogger set up, it's way easy to use, but I really wish you could upload your own photos.

Thanks for the feedback everyone!
@Flaun, when you say 'dim' do you mean the white text? Checking out the site on my iPhone, I noticed a weird white bar to the right that overlapped the margin. Maybe its a browser thing?
Anyone have an idea or see something funky?
@Geof, let me know if you figure it out.
@Matt, there is a widget that you can use to upload your own photos.

You guys rock the casbah. Thanks for all the feedback!

Looks sweet, but NEVER change that header, guys - it's the best one in the horror blogosphere (emphasis on the sphere!) Clean, crisp, iconic, and while giving a shout out to a memorable horror image, it's original. Very classy, and it's long been my fave.
PS - I have an archaic browser at work, and I was also getting a white bar on the left for my site, but only occasionally. But since I'm borderline PC illiterate, what the hell do I know?
- March 27, 2010 at 5:50 PM
- Planet of Terror said...
Wow, thanks Senski! I had an idea for using the sphere from Phantasm and my buddy designed our kickass logo. Glad you dig it so much, and don't worry, we love it just as much!
I've checked out the blog on other browsers and haven't seen the white bar again. Hopefully it doesn't show on too many.

I figured out the page widget. Hit me up if you have problems using it.

- Mike Snoonian said...
It looks good.
Question-if you post youtube videos/trailers, does the width constrict the image-cutting a prtion of it off-and if so-how do you get around it?
- March 28, 2010 at 6:28 PM
- Planet of Terror said...
Mike, it can depending on what size you choose. So if you search for a particular trailer, you'll see a blueish looking star next to the 'Embed' feature. You can select various sizes, some of which may run over to the side margins of your blog, some of which may not (I always select 320X265). But even if you select the smallest, when you copy and paste the HTML code into your blogger template, you can still manipulate the size of the width and height that are in quotations " ".
Just mess around with the dimensions until you find something that fits.
- March 28, 2010 at 7:12 PM
- the jaded viewer said...
I had to move to blogspot due to blogger's insistence of abandoning FTP. I'd have to totally redesign my site if i chose a new template.
But the new pages option is pretty cool...now if i knew anything about web design i could take advantage.
- March 28, 2010 at 8:11 PM
- Carl (ILHM) said...
Agreed like the new design a bunch man and I have always wanted sweet buttons at the top!

Are Our Emotions Preventing Us From Taking Action on Climate Change?
Photo Credit: © moneymaker11/Shutterstock.com
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This article was published in partnership with GlobalPossibilities.org.
The vast majority of reporting on climate change is about data and facts. Temperatures have risen by this amount, glaciers have melted by that percent, Hurricane Sandy has cost this many billion dollars of damage. This type of discussion, though obviously necessary, speaks almost purely to the intellect. It fails to address what changes to our climate make us feel, and discussion of whether these feelings are rational or productive: do our emotional reactions to climate change help us make the massive political and cultural shifts necessary to halt its devastating progress? Or do they hold us back from taking rational, collective action? As a psychotherapist, I help clients examine and think through their feelings. I will attempt to do the same for Americans, broadly, coping with the difficult emotional challenge of climate change.
Emotions are complicated—people can experience many feelings, often contradictory, in when reacting to an issue as important and complicated as climate change. I will consider various emotional reactions that people may have, bearing in mind that most people will feel a shifting combination of these emotions in response to our changing climate.
Many Americans feel guilty about climate change. This is largely due to the narrative about "individual responsibility" for climate change that is prominent in American culture. Adults are implored to "reduce their carbon footprint," and children are taught to "reduce, reuse, and recycle." Climate change makes us feel guilty because it makes us feel that we haven't done our moral duty; we have consumed more than our fair share. Now, we shall suffer the consequences of our moral lapses. We deserved Hurricane Sandy because of our wanton, consumptive ways.
These feelings, though understandable and common, are not rational or productive. It would be masochistic for individuals, acting alone, to renounce the non-sustainable conveniences and pleasures that modern life has to offer. Our society is constructed with modern conveniences in mind. Homes are far away from job sites, because people are expected to drive. Cities are built in areas that reach very high temperatures, and people are expected to be productive even during summers—because they are expected to use air conditioning. Attempting, individually, to rectify the damage of climate change would be alienating, and it would put a person at a disadvantage from others.
Further, the idea that climate change should be dealt with at an individual level makes no sense. Even if a large number, say 10 million people, go totally carbon neutral, climate change would continue its ruthless forward march, nonetheless. No one of us created this mess, and no one of us can solve it alone.
More importantly, guilt about climate change is counter-productive. Guilt is an uncomfortable feeling. In order to avoid feeling guilty, we avoid thinking about climate change, the increasing severity of weather, and what life will be like for our children and grandchildren. We overlook the failure of our leaders, because we are too busy blaming ourselves. We fail to demand, large-scale, coordinated action from our government. Every day we are fooled into thinking that climate change is a problem caused by individuals and solvable by individuals is another day we fail to move towards large-scale, coordinated, societal action. We fail to exert our influence on the fate of the only planet we have.
Another common emotion that climate change inspires is anger, which, when directed thoughtfully, is more rational than guilt and can be more productive. The fossil fuel industry and other corporate interests have prioritized profits over our collective future. Our politicians have lacked the foresight and courage to protect us. Beyond these specific grievances, people may feel diffuse anger at the unfairness of our situation. We didn't ask for such a dangerous, precarious world, but that is the world we inherited.

Jenson Button insists he has no hard feelings towards the mechanic who failed to properly secure his wheel during the Malaysian GP.
Having made a promising start to the race and sitting steady in fifth spot, Button's day went pear-shaped when he exited his pit box to discover that his front right wheel not been properly attached.
The McLaren mechanics wheeled the car back in and put the wheel on correctly, but by the time Button rejoined the race he looked without a hope of getting back into the top ten. He eventually retired with three laps to go.
Despite the costly error, Button refuses to condemn the mechanic at fault.
"The guy on the front-right (wheel) was devastated," said Button.
"I really feel for him because it was such a small mistake and it can cost you dearly, as it did.
"But I don't hold any grudges with anyone. It's a mistake and the guy has apologised."
The mistake comes after McLaren recorded record-breaking fast pitstops last year and as they now look to break below the two second mark.
However, Button feels that in the wake of the incident at Sepang it may be prudent for the team to refocus on reliability rather than raw speed.
"When the guys are quick, they are super quick, but we have to be careful in trying to get them too quick," said the Briton.
"But when it's that fast, you are under pressure, even if the guys say they aren't.
"If you have to do something in that space of time, it's very, very difficult.
"Now we've worked so hard on getting the pit stops as quick as possible, but maybe we have to back off a little to get a bit more consistency."
