[Okc] new website

[Rex Wycherley]

The new web site, www.sustainableokc.org,  is a very good start of what 
could eventually become a great, ever-expanding resource.  I have one 
question though....   In the main heading, it states:  "Think Smart".  In 
this case, smart is used as an adverb, so shouldn't the correct form be 
"Think Smartly"?  You could say, "That is smart thinking." in which case 
smart is used as an adjective.  However, I can see how "think smart" has 
kind of a mover/shaker effect--boom, boom, two syllables---that "think 
smartly" doesn't convey.  But then I never got used to Clinton talking about 
how he was going to "grow jobs"  like they were some sort of natural living 
resource like broccoli or cauliflower.  Am I being too picky?

I also don't like it when politicians talk about how our children are "our 
greatest natural resources," as if they are merely so much raw ore or 
petroleum to be mined and distilled into salable commodities.  Human beings 
have existential value far beyond any sort of material value or marketing 
strategy that materialists may try to ascribe to them.  But I am going far 
off on a tangent....
