A participant who always seems to be on the side of spending money says:"When no compensation of any sort is offered, the only people who can attend are the feckless and the very powerful/wealthy."
Wait a minute. I went to the citizen's fair and learned about all the volunteer opportunities. A great number of them were unpaid. Do we SERIOUSLY mean to say anyone who seized an opportunity to improve the city without pay becomes "feckless"? It seems an apology is due here to people who work in ANY kind of volunter position without pay. It is quite insulting to think their dedication to the city is characterized as "feckless". -------------- Jim Mork--Cooper "Only a LUNATIC would cut schools in order to pay for more bombs."
