DISQUS

I agree with Ray the impacts might over shadow the benefits I think it would draw shoppers away from the downtown

I blame Tom. The 3 comment was drunken genius!

"At the same time, multiple demonstrations had been planned by the international anarchist/anti-capitalist community near key landmarks"

Yeah...right. It was that simple, and just those crazy radicals that had planned on protesting,..keep dreaming. Your ignorance would make even the best stenographer jealous.

Foodari is nothing more than a spam site... avoid at all costs!

and i suppose you think you are very smart? this world has really gone to hell if we view everything in terms of profit opportunities.

if we all pile into the arms industry i wonder where the pressure to de-militarise will come from?

OK one of the longest campaigns I can remember is over, lets move forward now and pull together

Jennifer will be a part of GMA's "Whistle-Stop Tour." which kicks off 9/15. Good Morning America will broadcast live from a moving train for the week. The Monday 9/15 show will feature Barack Obama & James Taylor.

Alf DeCardenis is also gone

Hi Deb

I did have some concerns, but I do apologize if they came over too strong. I felt strongly about this, but they could have been shrunk into a single sentence, as a passing remark, or discussed with you privately.

I know you worked very hard at organizing this conference. Sometimes it's easy to write about concerns and then wish they could be softened after. So again, apologies if they came across as an over-reaction.

Went to this event today. From what I remember, there was no mention of Monash being closed to the SL public, however you might be right about this. If I had known about it before hand, I would have definitely asked.

One thing though was a few members of the team seemed to constantly press people to disclose their real life / second life relationship, or expect very long detailed explanations as to why they would want to keep their real life / second life identities separate.

Just wish they could accept that some people want to keep SL and RL separate. Some of the attendees seemed to take it VERY personally that such disclosure was not forth coming. (Also one of the speakers just seemed to have the facts wrong on a number of issues.)

However, there were some good speakers too, and some interesting facts emerged. Hope they can do it again.
