| Quote (Replicant @ April 21 2006,12:58pm) | What goes around, comes around. Hmmm. Let's throw out a scenario here with another future go-round.
What happens sometime down the road when Riverland Community College decides they're going to sell the land that Snyder Field sits on because of its value. The way that end of town is developing, don't think that's not going to happen sooner or later.
Who will be screaming then? Either of you play softball Sumpdump or Two Bears? Bet you know people who do.
I'm not a softball player, but I do recognize the value of having those softball fields because I see the tournaments come to town, I see people using them weeknights and weekends all summer enjoying themselves. Wouldn't want to lose them either. |
Yes there is value in the ball fields and the country club and would be a loss for the area BUT so was the public hunting on Goose lake.
I still think it is kind of funny that now the (golf) people get to lose smoething that affects what they like to do....We did not get a lot of help with the Tiger Hills fiasco because it was not to important to most people in albert lea about losing the public hunting by Goose lake, but now when developers are going to push dozers on your precious little golf course everyone is crying foul....
Like I said what comes around goes around!
If we all could stick together to stop these stupid Ideas that brings a BIG losses to a lot of people in the area maybe we could stop some of these things that affect us to one extent or another.
By the way I was screaming when the Tiger Hills deal was shoved down our throats were you?

Glad to see you realize this is not a zero-sum game. Found this quotation just now that applies:
| Quote | It has been theorized by Robert Wright, among others, that society becomes increasingly non-zero-sum as it becomes more complex, specialized, and interdependent. As one supporter of this view states:
"The more complex societies get and the more complex the networks of interdependence within and beyond community and national borders get, the more people are forced in their own interests to find non-zero-sum solutions. That is, win-win solutions instead of win-lose solutions.... Because we find as our interdependence increases that, on the whole, we do better when other people do better as well - so we have to find ways that we can all win, we have to accommodate each other" - Bill Clinton, Wired interview, December 2000. |
And yes, I make my feelings known about many topics.

Commas are free, but for cryin' out loud!

Ouch. Wow, first Geo now you. Thank God it's Friday so people can unwind.
I did follow up my somewhat understated nudge about commas saying you had some good ideas. Didn't think we were diametrically opposed here. Geez.
Botto got it. We've blasted each other a couple times but move on.
But I guess I'll put it a different way, now that you've identified my problem:
HEY HYMIE YOU IDIOT, LAY OFF THE COMMAS. YOUR POSTS ARE ALMOST UNREADABLE.
By the way, I didn't think you had a dictionary.
Hint - I don't use the sarcasm sign like I could. I give people more credit that they'll get it.
Oh, have a nice weekend everyone. Really.

You guys should listen to yourselves, all in agreement with local officials that this new development is hogwash, and Albert Lea doesn't need change...........If private investors and corporations see an opportunity to profit from this, who are city officials to say it won't work (look at track records for being profitable, aren't A.L. and Freeborn County goverments cutting budgets, and slashing services, trying to stay out of the red, while the private sector turns profits), I would trust in the developers ability to make it work, just make sure all plans have completion dates and penalties for non-completion, or delayed completion.
A.L definetly needs a face lift, both asthetically, and image wise, this is a step in the right direction, don't fear change, run with it, build a new and improved golf course, make it a draw for people, make the town a draw for people, somewhere they want to come to, and move to, especially those with money, they spend that money, open business (here in lies the gov't officials real issues, that would be competition for the money that those folks as individuals have a lock on in that town, they don't see it as opportunity for more business, people and sales, they see it as competition.
