Big Easy-Big Sleazy

Everyone in Oklahoma City is being asked to vote for a 1 cent sales tax on March 4th, 2008 to support spending $125 million to refurbish a recently built arena and build a practice center for a professional basketball team to the city, probably the Seattle Super Sonics that just happen to owned by some Oklahoma City businessmen.
For the last two years we had the New Orleans Hornets here when the New Orleans area recovered from Katrina.
New Orleans is one of the oldest cities in America. The French Quarter is a very interesting place filled with loud music, strip clubs, live sex acts, drunks, hookers, liquor flowing in the streets (before the vomit flows) and people who live on the streets.
People come from all over the world to experience New Orleans and then leave.
Do I want a professional sports team, besides the Oklahoma Sooners? Folks say we need a pro sports team to keep growing. That's the big problem. I like growth, but at the same time I want a town without traffic problems seven days a week and every night in the areas I want to go.
Because, after all, it's all about me, isn't it?
