Everything we make, he said enthusiastically, involves some kind of toxic byproduct that has to be disposed. "You people who live out here have something everyone else needs-a place to bury their waste."...Deserts are hard to defend because their local populations are often small, scattered, and desperate for economic advantage. They are no match for big government and its corporate allies with clever lawyers, fat public relations budgets, and professional lobbyists... hs cs a cuie WARD ...- Those of us who love deserts appreciate their sparse qualities. Deserts are where the rhythms and patterns of nature are written on open landscapes beneath open skies...Deserts scar easily, so they are also a medium for man to carve a portrait of his activities and the fears and misunderstandings that motivate him...Ultimately, it is our fate we are describing on the desert landscape. Cowboys in gas masks have dumped too many used razor blades in my backyard. The time has come to write new patterns there. It is time to heal the wounded and clear the air. 83 NORTH MAIN STREET P.O.
