TxU offers are too good to be true

In reference to the story in The Cameron Herald newspaper, "Feeding the (Power) Hungry," March 22.

This clearly demonstrates the callousness with which big corporations like TxU treat rural Texans. They want to dump over 9,000 tons of pollution into our air every year from a coal plant in Milam County, then they offer huge tax revenues and economic benefits to placate local officials while the rest of us are kept in the dark regarding the health risks. The laws of nature tell us nothing is for free. We'll be mortgaging our health for generations to come, and realize too late that we've traded economic benefits today while condemning future generations to the horrors of birth defects, asthma, lung cancer and other debilitating diseases. These horrors will ultimately mean a huge economic deficit for our community.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

As I exited the store the young soldier approached the counter and our eyes met. I stuck out my hand and said, "We appreciate ya.” Without hesitating this young man shook my hand, looked me straight in the eye and said, "Happy to do it sir.”

Now that remark got me to thinking. Could I imagine not seeing my family for a year or more? Could I imagine riding in a vehicle not knowing if/when a bomb would go off? Could I imagine walking down the street not knowing that someone, anyone, could walk up wanting to do me harm? And to beat all could I imagine myself telling a perfect stranger that I was "happy" to be doing these things? I don't really know if I could, but I do know this young man did.

The next time you see one of these men/women why not try sticking out your hand and telling them you appreciate them. What they say might stick with you, what this young man said to me did.
