That’s g***amn funny! Where Wichita developers stand to benefit from slopping at the public trough, they are willing to entertain a broader notion of ‘ownership’ than, say, Adam Smith.

And mrcontroversy, my thoughts exactly.

And yeah, the river's gotten all mucked up in a lot of ways since then. I miss those days too. Da,Yeah, I remember seeing them, but we always went for the canoes.

That was fun, too. Too bad things would be so complicated if they really brought it all back.... people worried about getting dysentery from the river and having to sign a liability wavers. I miss the days when things were simple and the risks were just part of the fun. Jed, remember the paddle boats? That was fun, too.

I wonder how many people here know what economic theory that is that Wichita is following? I guess Joe prefers “State Ownership of the Means of Production” as practiced in the WaterWalk development.

I know the lawyers have made such things difficult, but I really wish we could bring that back. That was quality time!

Remember the bicycles built for two? That would be too cool. It would be great if he'd follow through, what an asset that would be for the city.
