<DIV><FONT size=2>The mall proposal makes even less feasible sense with the
advent of the Super WalMart in Pullman.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But remember: Hawkins makes its money by talking
investors into investing in specific projects which Hawkins manages.
No projects, no money for manager Hawkins. Of course Hawkins says the
show must go on; its other people's money basically.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I wonder what the local Moscow investors in the Hawkins think
now. Since they invested against the interests of their community (and I
know who some of them are), I'd be happy to see them lose their
investments. It would be a good object lesson for certain slimy hypocrites
and their very slimy political operatives.</FONT></DIV>

<P style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 13px Courier">"We've invested
multiples of millions in this project," he said. "We're not
walking away."</P>

<P

<P style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 13px Courier">So they're gonna spend
$100 million more to build an unneeded supermall?</P>
<P
style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 16px; FONT: 13px Courier"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 13px Courier">And people wonder why
our economy collapsed due to risky investments.</P>
<P
style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 16px; FONT: 13px Courier"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 13px Courier">This is the same
mentality that says, "too many people have died and too many
hundreds of billions of dollars have been spent on a {misguided}
war to just pull out. So lets keep fighting." and wasting
lives, money and morality.</P>
<P
style="MARGIN: 0px; MIN-HEIGHT: 16px; FONT: 13px Courier"><BR></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 13px Courier">Sometimes the smartest
thing to do is realize you made a bad decision a pull out before
digging yourself any deeper.</P>
