Typical.

Funny how "pro business!" stances always require no knowledge from supporters. Thats why they are so often inefficient.

I would agree with your premise. The "invisible hand" of the free markets is, too often, literally invisible. It's this kind of thing that Europe has us beat in a bad way. People before profits is a nasty concept in America - at least in many parts of this country. (cough, cough)

Since there were nothing but problems with publicly funded stadiums in towns, we should continue the trend and do this!!!! Problem is, many communities are having great luck and it's benefiting the people rather than the big businesses.

Like Jeff Cohen said, the "invisible hand" has been spooked away here by the ghost of McCarthy. Too true. Very, very sad stuff when you really think about it all.

Good god, I have a great idea to pay for the service... sheesh.
