Marriott/Interstate Slots Emporium?

I also agree [that we should not offer support for the Convention Center Project], but not on the grounds of Christianity, as I am not a Christian.

This project was foisted on the public with deception and media manipulation. It is singularly an un-Democratic monument to greed and selfishness.

Okay, so it will be built after razing historic city blocks, re-writing laws and ripping off the common taxpayer. What can the public really do? Nothing.

Conceding the inevitability of the project is not the same as supporting it. I do not support it and believe it will fail miserably as a convention center.

And by the way, making this project the "best it can be" will probably end up meaning supporting the Marriott/Interstate Slots Emporium. At least that's my bet.
