Note that I replied to AndyTiedye and not the OP?

come on, come on, tell us what your point is.

I thought it was pretty clear. But I can spell it out for you:

If you check the American Lung Association's 2013 ratings for most-polluted cities, you'll see only three TX cities in the top 25 for ozone, and none make the list for year-round or short-term particle pollution. CA, OTOH, has the top 6 (and 11 of the top 25) for Ozone, 8 of the top 10 for year-round particle pollution, and the top 5 (and 9 of the top 25) for short-term particle pollution.

So let's try again:

When making the (valid) point that you would rather live with CA's environmental record than TX's... using a photo of air polution/smog over Dallas is a mistake. While Dallas is the worst in TX... it doesn't hold a candle to cities in CA. Thus it isn't a good way to illustrate the point. How about...


Better now?
