Oh, boy, not the what to do with the tax money thread... Now I'll have to refund Rich all his money for the underspec soapbox, since this is a hard one to resist, and I really want to get on it, we'll deal with he quality of workmanship later... But since I see everybody agrees so far, no need to get on the soapbox yet. Interesting, that one of the news items this morning in Oregon is a bill in the state house that would fund the building of a fancy stadium to attract a MLB team to Portland. I have nothing against baseball, basketball or any other sport. Really. Just that if it's a business, then they should pay for the facilities out of the team's pockets, not ours. And if it's really "our" team, then I want a say in how it's managed, who they hire and, of course, my share of the profits...
