Lots of storm death and damage. Note the byline mentions Pilcher OK, the same place I quicklinked a story about yesterday. It's from High Country News and tells about an area of OK, MO, & KS where the US superfund is paying off landowners. There's a new twist on that story, pun intended. |

Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.
Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
