Come on people, let's all try to be 'kinder and gentler'!  {:^)

Maybe you misunderstood my earlier postings.  I AGREE, times are tougher
relative to what they were in the mid-eighties.  There are a LOT of people
unemployed, on welfare, on food stamps in the Cleveland area.  But if all
these people voted for Clinton he still would not win.  The (ok, i'll use
it again (^:} ) MAJORITY of people in the greater Cleveland area are doing
ok.  These people will either have to have an economic downturn or be
convinced that it will happen in the near future in order to vote for
Clinton.
  I have a question for you.  If most people in greater Cleveland are
suffering through tough times, then why did they pass a new tax a short
while ago to pay for a new stadium and arena complex for the Indians and
Cavaliers?  This type of thing is a luxury which should be last on the list
of priorities if most people are suffering economically.  By the way, I was
against the tax.  It's already known that the complex will not ever pay for
itself.  The argument that some jobs will be created during it's
construction is bogus, too.  If you wanted to spend those millions creating
jobs, there are a lot more efficient ways of doing it than by building a
stadium.  So either all these economically downtroden people are idiots for
throwing tax money at a new stadium during tough times, or they are in the
minority.
