When I got a new issue today, the issue came up in code as this:

A group of Greenpeace protesters have called for an end to a government proposal to begin damming rivers in Blackbird to increase water supplies and generate power.


The Debate

"Don't build dams!" shouts protestor Faith Winters through a microphone heavily afflicted with feedback. "Do you know how many fish die in other dams in [Error evaluating "region->query('name')", type eval: Can't locate object method "query" via package "region" (perhaps you forgot to load "region"?) at (eval 334) line 1.

"Think before you open your mouth," says engineer Freddy Spirit. "While Blackbird may have to pay the price in animal diversity, as well as adverse effects on the environment, do we really want fossil-fuel based plants polluting Blackbird? If you use your common sense, I think you'll find that damming some rivers would be a good idea. Plus, think of how much the economy would benefit from all the jobs these projects would create."
