Workshop Day

Hello everyone,

I attended some great workshops today, and was quite grateful of the caliber of speakers willing to present.  Clint Hickman from Hickman Eggs was my favorite.

Here are two thoughts of mine so far that I would love to see some replies containing your thoughts on:

During today’s opening talk, the contentious topic of global warming was brought up during Mr. Perkin’s discussion.  Whether or not you agree with various points in it, would we all benefit from less pollution?  For example…do any of you have family members with asthma or other breathing conditions where this is an issue?  How might air pollution lead to poor drinking water quality and an increased cost to purify it?

Fr. Doug Marcoullierbrought up an interesting argument regarding Texas being pro-immigration during the Governor Bush days because of a shift toward local services and sales tax vs. California’s then anti-immigration sentiments maybe due to government service and income tax.   Any thoughts, either in support or dissent?
