In closing.

What's confusing to me after reading this report is what ISA's position is in all of this?  I don't see any fight in them, when I say a "fight" I don't mean going to a city hall and fighting an ordinance.  I mean fighting a MOVEMENT.  I hope there are those at ISA willing to speak up and do so if this is an ideology shared by various hierarchy, it's going to be hard to turn down a lot of money they can get from both sides of Manufacturer & Sign Companies.  I hope there isn't an intention to roll over and play dead, use this crisis as a way to capitalize on "programs" to get us to follow along with the "changes" or to show us how "wrong" we are.  Because this is how this report is coming across.  Change how you and I do and conduct business.  Instead of making/creating programs for those paid/unpaid members, maybe they should start to financially back a group that has the bigger picture for our industry well in hand.  Yes ISA has done some good in the past, not denying that and sometime too little too late because they are wrapped (no pun intended) in the WOW of another light source.

RINGER! You just hit that nail on the head with a two handed sludge hammer >>>>>> They can't even afford to lose money on this and not a fight they would want to ever take up. Good comments on everything else too.

I'm soooooo tired of sales people telling me I have to look after the environment after they put a product in my hand, you know? I'm polluting the ocean now because of what mascara I use, give me a break people, go off yourself!

Mascara is a green product! It prevents visual pollution, previous poster excepted! The green movement is much more about political power and money to be made than it is about saving the environment.

I just finished surveying 42 locations for changing Fred's Dollar Stores from yellow and red signs to blue and green. I think many companies will change to that color scheme in the following years to appear green. Isn't that what BP did when it came out with it's sunburst logo?

The reason the government will not spend it's way out of a recession is they are spending borrowed money. At the G20 conference Europe banded together and said after the various "stimulus packages" expire they will have to get their financial house in order. Of course our leadership said the government has to stimulate more because the economic recovery is still fragile.
