Crews stripped the trees from much of the canal bank in the area of the U of R a few years back. It broke my heart. Let's not do this again!
I live less than a mile from the proposed WF. I drive that stretch of Monroe all the time. I don't need an expensive traffic study to know it can't possibly accommodate the extra traffic without gridlock.
I just came to the site to ask the same question. Couldn't you find any female action figures? Or anyone of color?

Could we all take a moment to acknowledge that even hard-core opponents of gun control are ok with banning civilian ownership of anti-tank weapons; surface-to-air missiles; chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons, incendiaries, land mines, and a host of other military technology. So there's a line between "ok for civilians" and "not ok for civilians." Now that we've established that, can we please have a conversation about which side of the line machine guns should lie on? Maybe with actual reasons why?
Re: “Apathy and laziness also cause low voter turnout”
We need real research if we want to know why people don't vote. My own intuition is that people _do_ care, but they've lost any confidence in being able to make a difference -- they're convinced the system is rigged. Big-money interests don't have any reason to discourage that loss of confidence. But that's just my intuition.
