Like Philadelphia? Have you seen the financial condition of a city that receives more money from the state, tourism income, and has higher local taxes.

But, don't think that this will matter, or that your vote will matter. Onorato and Ravenstahl both want this to occur, so it will - regardless of the will of the people.

Doubt that? Then remember the two stadiums, the new arena, and the PAT tunnel. All being built with public money, even with opposition from the public.

These people, especially Onorato, do not care about the desires of the public, only about their own political ends. Onotato has his eye on the Governor's chair, and sees the arena, casino, and merger as his stepping stone to that office.

Ravenstahl, should Onorato escape the county, sees himself as the natural replacement for Onorato as the head of the newly merged County of Pittsburgh (you didn't think it would still be called Allegheny County, did you?).

And what of the surrounding communities? They will be assimilated into the new organization. And, with all the fiscal managerial power thus far demonstrated by the city, will become the new ghetto's as their tax money is sucked into that black financial hole - Pittsburgh.

Voters, you've been warned, you vote doesn't matter, the merger will happen because the political livelihoods of those involved are at stake!

Quit reading -- go outside and do something!

If you were to actually read the comments you would see plainly that my labels refer to ideas and idealolgies. Not people as you claim. Even with the truth starring you in the face you claim denial.

I choose not to label anyone if at all possible because I believe in personal freedoms.

And yes communism does work in theory ONLY becuase of the natural human instinct of greed and domination. In true communism there are no leaders everyone is equal and works for the greater good.

Also I have a degree in political science and studied and learned of 17 different religons. And unlike your accusations I actually learned from my studies and readings. I didn't just read the material.

Tolerance is for the weak who want handouts for the rest of thier lives and don't want to work for freedom.

As for the T.V. talking heads as you ptu it; very few if any have ever spoken truthfully. I despise your T.V. talking heads because the statments I make sure do not come from them. If they had thier way not you or me would be able to express our opions on this blog.
