This month Rolling Stone magazine has a horrific article about murders committed by returning Iraqi soliders at Fort Carson in Colorado.
The lack of our government/military to understand and deal with the overwhelming mental health issues that arise from combat is astounding and disgusting--it pretty much amounts to, "take 3 of these horsepills and call me next week"
And god knows we all know somebody who went thru these same mental problems after Vietnam--so this ISN'T a new issue.
If this is how the government is treating our young heros, I can only imagine how they feel about the rest of us.....
hey thumper,
can you go over that Sunrise Landfill stuff one more time?
i didn't catch all the details in the 23 times you posted about it after this article....
Our_Linn,
I agree. It is a contribution, and its really on yourself to stand up to your word.
But.....you think that he didn't deduct that donation from his taxes already?
And LVPaco, is this development really good for downtown? As stated, if it is goes thru, the businesses HAVE TO BE geared towards tourist, not downtown residents.
I live downtown too, and I think this is a horrible idea. WE DON'T NEED IT, and it can't be supported.
Since it has to be geared towards tourists, it isn't going to be hip little bars and cool ethnic restaurants like us Downtowners like to utilize these days. Its probably going to be a PF Changs, an ABC Store, and TGIFridays.....

I remember earlier in the decade when a engineer friend of mine took a job at the County and was mocked by his professional friends for taking the steady, but lower, paycheck with the great benefits and retirement from the County over the higher paying, short term incentive-laden jobs from the fly-by-night development companies who no longer exist.
It was stupid in 2002 for people to opt for the long term security at the County, but those professional friends of my buddy sure aren't mocking him now.....
