Don't Destroy the Land

Dear Editor,
   I am stuck in the stinking sinkhole called Houston, and I can dream about the pristine Hill Country. But now I read about all the developers raping the Hill Country ["Westward Ho!," News, May 28] and I know you are in danger of losing the most precious thing you have, the integrity and beauty of the land. Houston was never worth saving, but Austin and the surrounding Hill Country are worth saving. Fight the developers; fight the whore politicians who sell out to them. Support candidates who will protect your land. Austin is the only place I know in Texas where the citizens have the brains and backbone to fight back.
   I promise not to move to the Hill Country and pollute your land. I will keep my dream alive of the lovely, unspoiled Hill Country, Barton Springs, Hamilton Pool, etc. And if you lose it all, please don't tell me about it. Dreams of the Hill Country are all I have left, don't destroy that, too. Keep your dreams a reality; hold on to what you've got.
