Blainerb: You may have a point there, David--the value of the property being offered to the city by the LDS Church was no small amount (but it is conjectural only). Rocky gave his reasons, which appeared in print and on TV several times, and included were his personal experiences watching SPs on the Plaza--he also expressed fears that such would get worse, not better. His interest was mainly in bringing the divergent groups in the city together in a compromise situation, and the fact that the LDS Church sweetened that situation was only part of the deal. He maintained that the bottom line was the behavior of the SPs--he was clearly afraid of that sort of thing creating more divisiveness, which, more than anything,would pose a threat to his continuance as Mayor of the city--so, it had political overtones, I guess you might say, as well. Let's face it, SPs were not popular even among those opposed to the Plaza.
cd: Nor do we seek popularity Blaine-We seek only to preach Christ to those on in SLC where we have seen many conversions. If this causes the Mayor grief then he should look unto his own life and why would this make him unpopular-not find fault in what we preach as we know the whole world will hate us but we are of good cheer because it hated our master before us and we are not greater than Him.If I went to Mecca would I be popular? Why not? How far do you think those Moslems would go to stop us:-)

Blaine, if money were not involved, don't you think the outcome would have been a bit different? Follow the money, Blaine. The love of money is the root of all evil. The Mormons supplied the money. The city leaders took it. Think about it.
Peace be with you. David Miller.

Preachers do more harm than good--that is the consensus of opinion, at least among the more righteous preachers of traditional Christianity. Even Rocky Anderson, Salt Lake City Mayor, a former ACLU Attorney, was turned off by the insolent behavior of the street preachers. He finally sided with the LDS Church on the Plaza issue, mainly because of the SPs.
