Thats a nice read. On a side note, a confident, positive and a pleasant attitude are important to have. This will help us not only when it comes to relationship but also helps our life in general. This also helps - husband having affair . Thanks.

I agree, Tip. I had the same experience when I moved here.
As for Rio Nuevo, there was a vision. That’s what was presented to the voters in 1999 when the TIF was approved. But it got lost in the feeding frenzy when the moochers and looters took over.

I think it’s been the funniest TV in years – I admit I’m really enjoying it.
Of course if I thought any of them could actually beat Obama I would be worried – but I’m not.

>It may not have an artistic “center,” but it certainly has an artistic and intellectual heart.
When I first moved here I tried to find a place in the local gay ghetto – only to discover that there isn’t one. Ditto for any kind of artist ghetto.
I’m used to living in places where people live in close contact – it foments a certain energy that is lacking here.

I don’t think Tucson is as far from this vision as one might think. It may not have an artistic “center,” but it certainly has an artistic and intellectual heart. That heart could use a little soul added to it, but I think it is there. As far as Rio Nuevo goes, though, the dream died for me when the city failed to actually bring back the river. That was primarily what I voted for way back when. It was a way to reconnect Tucson with it’s natural center and even better a way to renew and upgrade the sewer/water reuse system. Oh well, I guess…

You can’t expect gays to find any support in the tea party.
Of course they will look to “liberals” – they know what to expect drom “conservatives”.

Equal rights are not special rights. As far as I can tell. the only thing being asked for by the “LGBT Agenda” is equal rights. Since the concept of ”no taxation without representation” applies to all citizen regardless of sexual identity, then so long as one fulfills the duties citizenship, he, she, or whatever variation thereof is inherently entitled to equal rights, including but not limited to civil marriages between consenting adults, the ability to be a “family unit” for medical-legal purposes, and the same privileges enjoyed by any other couple. It is not “the left” which is trashing the highest principles of our nation, indeed it is the so called “right” that has been and remains so wrong about them. OWS can be proud of its patriotic support of fairness and equity for all people irregardless of sexual identity or any other reasonable distinction.

People who bristle at OWS for not favoring the inculcated bigotry of its opposition need only look to recent history to see the ultimate destination for any public policy which is permissive of discrimination:

The rising tide of Fascism, Jingoistic Nationalism , and Orwellian “double speak” should scare us, not spurious assertions against OWS. It is the opposition which is morally bankrupt on this issue, not OWS.

Kinda sucks, Mr. Art, that only two people agreed with you. Then there were six that didn’t. There were also about 300,000 that snorted and clicked “Next”.
The Internet is great. Lots of talentless opinionated uninformed people can share their “vision” with the masses. Thank you for sharing yours. As you said, although you never used the big words, your vision is a bit myopic.
Tucson’s doing fine. The rodeo is fine where it is. If families want to take days off to visit DisneyLand THAT TOO Is good. I’m sorry in your world they’d be forced to go watch horses poop on asphalt. In the real world (which includes Tucson) they can go have a GOOD TIME, not a SHITTY time. (pun intended).
It’s great that everyone gets to express an opinion. Just don’t forget that the fact that you have an opinion doesn’t mean it’s worth a horse’s poop on the road south of Broadway.
