Tom,<br><br>How do you know his sentiment, when our discussion was private?<br><br>As to your comments. Me BEEF is with the city. I could care less about the fireworks two nights ago. Wish I was there. I only wished people in Moscow would donate money, such as the students and others did, so we could all enjoy, which should be our most celebrated holiday, July 4th.<br>I'm not going to whine and cry about it just wondered if others thought the way I do.<br><br>Tom I can't figure out if you just disagree with everything I say because you believe me to be a republican, or if you just can't come to a realization that "others" might have valid points. <br><br>Matt<br><br><blockquote><hr>From: thansen@moscow.com<br>To: mattd2107@hotmail.com; nickgier@adelphia.net<br>Date: Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:18:12 -0700<br>CC: vision2020@moscow.com; privatejf32@hotmail.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] Friday Fireworks<br><br>

<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">One question, Matt: Huh?</span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Your argument might have some meat to it,
Matt, if both instances (Fourth of July fireworks and UI Homecoming fireworks)
were paid for by the city. Your argument is with the city for not
organizing fireworks activities on the Fourth of July. I would most
definitely support your argument there.</span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;"> </span></font></p>
<p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Another thing: Your implication that
UI should not have fireworks because their football team is doing so poorly
lacks rationale to say the least.</span></font></p>

This had nothing to do with how I feel about Bush or the war. It was about
donations. Donations for the wounded troops vs. donations for the poor
professors. All of which I believe you would be for.<br>
<br>
As in regards to fireworks. Why in sams hell can't Moscow have a show on the forth, but we can
have one for a homecoming game for one of the worst ranked teams in the nation?
Priorities?<br>
