Calling all dubbies in the Middle Atlantic States unlucky enough to have been assigned to the annual Sauna in Philly July 11-13.
As the U.S, Northeast bakes in sweltering heat and debilitating humidity, what greater first-hand evidence can you find of Bethel's callous indifference to your well-being than their persistence in scheduling these pointless hum-drum events in such a notorious blast-furnace environment as Vets stadium, when just across the street, at the Spectrum, and in countless other venues, air-conditioned auditoriums are readily available to them?
Repeated, public warnings in the media of the health hazard to the very young and elderly posed by such conditions fall on deaf ears in Brooklyn. Cancel? Postpone? Shorten? Are you nuts?!! Ofcourse, the bigshots in Administration, the guys who drone on and on from the platform, can repair to the facility's air-condition offices and VIP rooms on their done dispensing the latest ``new light.''
JW Urban Lore is replete with accounts of deaths and injury sustained in such conditions. Yet year after year, nobody has the temerity to utter a word of complaint, although a not inconsiderable number will protest with their feet by booking rooms in cities where they cane die of boredom in air-conditioned comfort!
