Scott writes: Great!!!!!! An Urban Studies student who knows more than we do to tell us about how infrastructure improvements and outside capital being invested in our communities is a "bad" thing. Can I take a guess here, Travis is early to mid-20's, white, male, very very left of center politically speaking, has yet to hold a day job or have a family where he might have to compromise some of his lofty ideals . . . nothing personal but I'm wagering I'm at least 90% right on most of these, welcome to the conversation!
Peter writes: Because I deleted my e-mail from yesterday I may stand to be corrected, but isn't this the same Scott who complained about STRIDE ridiculing and demonizing proponents of the Access Project? Do I detect a double standard here? Those of us who are very, very left (or right) of center, politically speaking, are often reminded to be on our best behavior when disagreeing with others in the forum. But evidently, those on the center can say whatever they please about anyone who disagrees with them. Personally, I don't mind all the personal barbs. It's all a part of politics. But I do mind double standards. BTW, Scott, despite being opposed to the Access Project myself, I'm a 47 year-old homeowner and have worked steadily for thirty years now. But I'm not married and don't have kids. Does this mean your opinion counts more than mine while mine counts more than Travis's? Should we adjust our elections so that people like you with more acceptable demographics can have their vote count more-? -----------Peter Schmitz CARAG TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
