and those residents who do think that some public funding isn't a bad idea. it isn't the people vs corporations on this issue as most "progressives" boil everything down to. that nifty common dreams article left out that the sex industry were players in the council pulling funding. http://pittsburghlive.com/x/tribune-review/sports/s_284610.html seems that the owner of multiple gay porn theaters that would be displaced by the new stadium funded the fight. john harris camden __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
