Shipwreckjockey - How about this one: a lot of folks in this town (Portland, OR) have been whining for a major league baseball park for years, but the taxpayers don't want to pay for it when our schools are closing and falling apart and cutting days and such. So a local Indian tribe offered to BUILD us a stadium at their expense. All they wanted in exchange was permission to build a casino in the metro area. Well, of course gambling is EVIL, so the gov turned 'em down. We have the highest number of nudie bars per captita in the US, but God forbid we should be GAMBLING (or at least gambling and losing our money to somebody besides the state lotto commision). Man, I'm cranky these days. Sorry 'bout that. Also sorry if my earlier post offended anybody - I'm not anti-patriotic, I just have a low tolerance for people who can't think for themselves, one way or another. Off the soapbox. Now let's chat tiki! |
