"Change comes slowly," says architect Paul Pholeros. He should know; he has spent the last 30 years working on urban, rural, and remote architectural projects throughout his native Australia and beyond. In particular, he is focused on improving the living environments of the poor, understanding that environment plays a key and often overlooked role in health.

Gosh subgenius, this has a little socialist sound to it. Helping the poor? Is your heart softening a little?

Off topic, your posts have become more reasonable lately. Exposure to this board? It's good to see, whatever the reason may be.

On the other hand, your new avatar image is likely the most annoying thing here. Hypnotic. After looking at it for a few seconds, I find myself saying "Yes master, command me."

Somehow (I have no recollection) I found a Tea Party membership card in my wallet.

my heart has always been soft...this post could easily be seen as promoting future income streams for my own profession with helping the poor as consequence...they are merely a new market.
Not to mention the opportunity to raise the banner for Architects (notice the capital A).

"don't call it a comeback. i've been here for years..."

Tea party members are like the Trekkie convention goers of politics - please, don't associate me with them. I have been a registered Libertarian for a few decades - since i was 18.
