They are diffeent issues. This is a national issue of importance.
Modu do you not want to know why New York got beat by the French?
Imagine what Chirac would be like now with Bush had Blair done what Bush did...absolutely nothing.
I am making fair comments. The IOC made Clinton and Bloomburg embarassed in defended why 4/5 heads of states came to Singapore but Bush didnt.
I know why NY was beaten . . . they chose NYC. If they had chosen Albany or some place where it is more open, they probably would have made it into the final grouping. The problem is, we tend to submit cities that are overly developed and crowded from the beginning, and then trying to do mass urban-renewal in these locations is too expensive, too complex, and too burdensome on the residents. So, the public tends to be against it. It has nothing . . . NOTHING . . . to do with whom went where. NYC was just a poor choice.
Now . . . if you want to reply to this, go back to your initial thread.
