My Blue Signatures

The blue signatures will win. Everyone is probably thinking - well sure - you say that after the whole signature race is over, there's articles where they place Blue 4-1 over the yellows, and so on and so forth.

BUT, the reasoning is that it is so easy to be the con and very difficult to speak out and be pro. You're expected to know every angle and detail about the proposal if you are to speak out for the proposal. If you are against, its an accepted explanation to say, "Property Taxes." They don't even have to look at the actual needs of the school. Its even more difficult to be for something that comes with personal sacrifices.

The same goes for Harrison Square - the cons are so convinced they are somehow going to get screwed and "We already have Memorial Stadium" - its not even expected to look at the possible benefits that come with Harrison Square.

Are you sure it's "possible" and not "impossible" in regard to the boondoggle baseball stadium? John B. Kalb

up a little late aren't you John?

Personally - I don't think its "possible" for you to have a more hopeless point of view.

Also, I don't think its "possible" for you to over use the adjective boondoggle any more than you already are.
