And that would prove...?

That Long Island is not the vast agricultural preserve you think it formerly was, that has now been despoiled by greedy developers and homeowners.

I am simply not comfortable unless I am somewhere I can see 10,000'+ mountain peaks from 100+ miles away.

I know what you're saying...

What area of the country do you live in?

I traveled thru Denver last month (the airport) and what a great sight, those big old mountains staring down at my small self.

Absolutely gorgeous. And flying over those mountains to Sacramento showed how much open space (no people, no buildings) there is in America.

I'm the last of three generations on Long Island. I remember farms right on the outskirts of NYC. You are right that it is not "the vast agricultural preserve you think it formerly was...", but then, that wasn't what you meant to say, was it?

Why don't you admit it, you have absolutely no idea what Long Island was like, or is now?
