is a 'tax base' the amount of tax generating things in a municipality?

I know that everybody wants Disney to be responsible for the cute widdle kid's demise, but what kind of parent takes a four year old onto a centrifuge?

Most amusement park rides are centrifuges of one sort or another.

i thought he died while on the mission space ride? i also thought that was the equivalent of Soar over California. that is basically an Imax screen with you lifted a few feet off the ground in a chair that will tip forward, back, side to side with loud noises, to simulate flight etc. having been on that ride only recently, i don't see how it could even be remotely looked at as a cause of death.

or is this a different ride?

I thought it was specifically mentioned in the article that the cause of death was completely unrelated to the ride, he just happened to die while on it.

I don't think the cause of death has been determined - it's just been noted that he didn't have any signs of trauma.

I'm sorry to hijack from the story about the dead kid :(

but I thought this was an interesting little display of citizen outrage. I would dearly love to see this succeed.

Copy of Atlas Shrugged in the nightstand? I'd stay there.

so your saying if your family, along with many other families on the street, owned a nice but small piece of property across the street from the water and a developer came along and proposed to the town that he wanted to build high end condominiums and upscale shops where the houses are standing and have been handed down for generations, you would say that was fair???? Just so the town could make more tax revenue (or is the trickle down theory, you pay me, I pay him, he pays her, it goes through, the 3 of us get rich what do we care)
:eek:

A Libertarian developer has just filed paperwork to take away David Souter's house to build a hotel.


This land WAS your land...


Instead of a bible in every room, it will have a copy of Atlas Shrugged in every room.

See Post #37, Radar. Mr. Noodle is faster on the draw.

Scalia and Thomas voted against the amendment, julie. HM is uncomfortable because he finds himself in agreement with conservatives.

Wow, my wish just may come true!!
