Denver is #1 Kid-friendly cities Best urban areas for child’s play CHILD MAGAZINE SPECIAL TO MSNBC March 29 — Where are the best places in the United States to raise a family? Child magazine surveyed over 100 cities to answer that question, looking at everything from pediatric health centers to housing costs and air quality, to student-teacher ratios. Miriam Arond, editor-in-chief of Child magazine, gives us the top spots for families to call home. . DENVER Population: 499,775 Average home cost: $161,900 Number of parks: 301 Has excellent air quality, without a single day in 1999 exceeding the Environmental Protection Agency’s ozone limits Boasts more pediatricians per capita than most American cities Offers many recreational opportunities for families, including hiking and biking in nearby mountain parks, plus Six Flags Elitch Gardens (the only amusement park in the downtown of any U.S. city) Issues every fifth-grader a free pass for 75 days of skiing City highlight: More than 100 years ago, the Denver Public Library opened one of the nation’s first children’s departments. Today, the children’s library — recently redesigned by renowned architect Michael Graves — sparks imaginations with its unique features: a tentlike Children’s Pavilion where magicians and puppeteers perform free on the weekends, benches built into mazelike bookshelves for reading a story, and brass trumpets that call attention to media stations. Half of Denver grade-schoolers participate in the Children’s Summer of Reading program. The initiative contributed to the nearly 4 million children’s books checked out of the library last year — an average of 64 books for each cardholder age 12 or under. msnbc.com Scumbria

Thr right wing only controls about a third of congress. Bush is to the right of the moderate Republicans but he isn't as conservative as the real right wingers. The right wing doesn't have the power to jam any agenda except perhaps on isolated occasions on particular issues. Tim

Scumbria - Re:"There will be no moderation during the next two years. The right wing has two years to jam their agenda down our throats, and they will do it relentlessly until they get tossed in 2002." Indeed the radical right will do just that. But the good part is that this will lead to the Dems winning control of the Senate and House in '02. Followed by a boot for Smirk in '04. Most people just don't buy the concept that Arsenic in the drinking water is good for you... even if it does help the mining companies.
