Blainerb:  You may have a point there, David--the value of the property being offered to the city by the LDS Church was no small amount (but it is conjectural only).   Rocky gave his reasons, which appeared in print and on TV several times, and included were his personal experiences watching SPs on the Plaza--he also expressed fears that such would get worse, not better.  His interest was mainly in bringing the divergent groups in the city together in a compromise situation, and the fact that the LDS Church sweetened that situation was only part of the deal.  He maintained that the bottom line was the behavior of the SPs--he was clearly afraid of that sort of thing creating more divisiveness, which, more than anything,would pose a threat to his continuance as Mayor of the city--so, it had political overtones, I guess you might say, as well.  Let's face it, SPs were not popular even among those opposed to the Plaza.

Blaine, if money were not involved, don't you think the outcome would have
been a bit different?  Follow the money, Blaine.  The love of money is the
root of all evil.  The Mormons supplied the money.  The city leaders took
it.  Think about it.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.

Hey Judy, I've got a question for you: When Street Preachers point their
fingers at Blaine and say 'Repent or you're going to hell!" is that
righteous?
Blainerb:  Answer, but from Blaine, not Judy:  NO!!  :>)  Street Preachers
do more harm than good--that is the consensus of opinion, at least among the
more righteous preachers of  traditional Christianity.  Even Rocky Anderson,
Salt Lake City Mayor, a former ACLU Attorney, was turned off by the insolent
behavior of the street preachers.  He finally sided with the LDS Church on
the Plaza issue, mainly because of the SPs.
