3) The ozone layer. We all know...oops, please excuse this thought...I've been told that the ozone layer is actually healthy and has been banned too much already.
4) Republicans. We all saw what the state legislature did this year, and let's face it: That was just plain unhealthy in general.
Once these suggestions have been accomplished, I'm sure all of us, and all of our fresh-smelling loved ones, will be able to take comfort in knowing that the world has been made a little safer. But there is still much, much more to do.

Food for thought:Regarding the May 8 announcement of Jason Sheehan's James Beard Foundation award:
Jason, good for you! I have enjoyed your restaurant reviews from day one. They are really well written and informative, and best of all, you don't take yourself too seriously -- unlike some of the restaurateurs in this town. It's only food, folks!

Who's on first?I've written before and I'll say it again: Jason Sheehan is an idiot! He rambles on about nothing when we just want to know about the food! How he ever got to be the number-one food reviewer is beyond me!

Information, Please!
Art of darkness: Where have the gallery openings/ongoing exhibit listings gone? Westwordis in large part responsible for bringing this city out of the cultural dark ages in the '80s. The arts and art patrons in Denver have come to rely on the up-to-date information you have so capably provided over the years. Please don't abandon the arts. In this economy, we need you more than ever!

A sight for sore eyes:I don't understand what people are complaining about with the listings. Since Westword changed its calendar format, I have gone to two galleries I'd never visited before, because the stories made them sound so interesting! I never used the gallery listings, because they were too hard to read.

Spark plug:Please bring back the printed listings for art openings and ongoing gallery exhibits. I fully agree with the May 15 letter from Kate Thompson. The online listings are sloppy and difficult to access. The art community really needs the printed listings to inform artists and patrons. And perhaps more important, the printed listings can spark interest in a Westword reader who is not a regular gallery visitor.
And she was right about the Cafe section, too. In ten years, I have never used the restaurant listings.

Fluffy, not stuffy:I am very disappointed in the new calendar format. Please, please bring the old format back. Despite the small print, the extensive list of events you used to have in the old format made it easy to see at a glance what was happening in the Denver/Colorado area. Rather than a plethora of fluff focusing on a mere handful of events, I would rather have a comprehensive list of activities with contact information. Please go back to the old format.
