I'd like to see both candidates call for an immediate 5deg.F thermostat adjustment, just to get the conservation ball rolling - and because it would be a "personal virtue" for each candidate to ask it of us.

A lot of small towns, they've just disappeared. We're going to be next." The floods are certainly coming. And who knows when the next big earthquake will hit, since the town sits within...
