Re: Today Show

Hello All -

I agree about how maybe the coverage could have been better handled in the
studio, and with film clips, etc. Typical "city people" reactions to manure
and such. Truth be told, I'll handle horse manure over human waste anyday.

I do have a question, tho. Who is this Boyd Matson that everyone on RC so
far seems to so negative about? Not trying to incite a riot, I just want to
know why the seemlingly negative opinions. Private responses welcome.
Thanks.
