[Greenbuilding] How ya gonna keep them down on the farm when they've been to Orlando ?

[RT]

Since I don't think that it's been mentioned here yet, the following from  
the GSBN list

         http://sustainablesources.com/mailman/listinfo.cgi/GSBN


"Life-time achievement" makes it sound like WatJohn is an old geezer  
approaching that point in life where it's time to be put out to pasture,  
where in fact the reality is, as Duck Foo'd (aka Mark Piepkorn, a former  
List Momma of this List) put it, WatJohn looks to be barely 22 years of  
age.


Congratulations and hearty whacks on the back of course to the Listowel  
Truth-Seeking Missile but along with this award of course comes the worry  
(to me at least) that the Murrican universities and orgs with very deep  
pockets are going to be lining up with $even-figure appeasements to coerce  
WatJohn to abandon Waterloo and head south of the 49th.
