[QUOTE=Mike in Motown][QUOTE=Dave Severson]
No offense Mr Severson but in Cali LIBBIES ARE a threat to most race tracks. They use a liberal/envirinmental agenda to stop development of almost everything they dont have interest in. Thats why so called 'enviros' lack credability because they use trumped up 'facts' cited as enviro concerns to help/hurt causes. Thats why when something legitimate spills out nobody will listen. I really think you need a california view before saying that enviros are no threat to race tracks here. Just look up the problems the park in atwater ca is up against and tell me that enviros are one of the MAJOR players thats fighting to stop this particular track. OBTW i dont think many arent concerned about habitat preservation but rather dissagree on whats considered 'habitat', 'wetlands' etc.[/QUOT
LOL, if you say so..... We're guilty of everything, Money and Power have nothing to do with it. I think you, as with many Californians I've come to know, should soon come to realize that maybe you should do something about the problems you have. I don't know the specifics on whatever track it is you are talking about, but I do know what goes on at most tracks. It's not environmental concerns, but MONEY concerns... Money talks. And most tracks in and around big cities were there before the town spread out, and now the once worthless land has become valuable to BUSINESS. Look what happened at Ontario Motor Speedway, that wasn't environmentalists, it was MONEY. Now the used to be track is a huge business park. But hey, you're there and I'm here. Just keep blaming the liberals and watch everything you enjoy be gobbled up by the MONEY folks..... Check out who is behind the environmentalist front......and what their real reasons are. I realize we are a very easy target, so just keep blaming us liberals-----while the real guilty parties keep gobbling up everything.
Anyway, what is a Liberal anyway??? Just someone you blame when things go wrong???? Or, perhaps the people who take political action and bring about changes that suit them???? (They get this done because the majority of folks don't concern themselves with the issues, but would rather wait til things go wrong, then blame the "liberals") Libbies, huh???? Ok, it's your story, tell it any way you want.... But us "liberals" won't be the ones building the office complex and shopping center when your race track is gone.....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
