Do you still think the Mayor or anybody else was considering giving them some justice, if only they'd act nice and respectful? They burned a piece of paper and got on every television channel in the city. I'd say it was a good day's work in terms of getting what you want.Bram Reichbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620172942925293407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1588280325775325323.post-29261216958860221982008-01-11T13:40:00.000-05:002008-01-11T13:40:00.000-05:00Unfortunately, I'm coming to the conclusion that n...Unfortunately, I'm coming to the conclusion that neither side is showing signs of reason, clever politicking, or intelligence/understanding of any sort. It'll soon be nothing but contentious heel-digging and mean-spirited one-upsmanship. The worst is emerging from everyone involved.<BR/><BR/>In the same vein, I don't find it funny, clever, or powerful that they <I>burned</I> the freakin' document. I have seen little criticism of this (in my admittedly brief scan of the Pgh blogosphere), and I'd like to see someone who's on their side stand up and say that was wrong and ridiculously childish. No matter how aggrieved you feel, you don't do that. Why? No, <STRONG>not</STRONG> because it might hurt your image. But because it surely <I>will</I> hurt your actual changes of getting what you want. It's self-defeating silliness, and I, for one, was stunned by it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
