Because it would be taking money from the state to prop up something that obviously cannot support itself.

Do not start a business that is not capable of making money

Not saying anything of the sort, but if you have a business that is making money why would you need the governments help

That's quite naive to say. Just because you're willing and able to accept government funds to help your business grow doesn't put your business in a bad light nor does it mean that your business isn't capable of running on it's own.

For example, my business has been in business for nearly 5 years now, growing 300% year over year, but that wouldn't mean that I'm not willing to accept additional funding from outside sources. The only kind of funding I won't accept is the "strings attached" kind (i.e. money for part ownership, etc).

So as a business owner you just want FREE money?

Indy Zoo also chooses to pay more for "green" energy which irritates me. They want me to donate but choose ways to voluntarily make their expenses higher

I'm happy to accept free money, you're welcome to "donate to my cause" .

If there is a state or federal grant that would help my business grow, I'd take advantage of it in a heartbeat.

For example, there are grants out there that will pay something like 2/3 of the cost of building and maintaining a shooting range. It would be silly to not accept that money on principal unless there were conditions you simply did not agree with. (I didn't read up on the conditions, I just know the money is there).

Yes, they make expenses higher, but it's a zoo that is actively involved in world conservation. If you're as involved as they supposedly are, why would you elect to use energy that pollutes or contaminates the environment?

OK, everyone... the court date is DECEMBER 10, 2012. That gives the judge 11 days to make a ruling before the end of the world. Mark the date, folks.

Maybe the Court Date is the precursor event for it....

Then we could accuse T_F of bringing on the apocalypse.

Poor Ben......

Wait, wasn't he already accused of that? I mean his OCing at the Zoo was supposedly caused cats and dogs living together, women and children stampeded, cattle raped, mass hysteria, etc.

Hold on just a damn minute! I've met Ben and done a bike ride with him. He's a fine gentleman who doesn't deserve to have his name smeared. But now that I think about it he probably could do all that weird stuff. Yeah, I take it all back. He definitely needs to be watched. I mean, like, look what gas prices are doing. Ask yourself, where they that high BEFORE he pulled his little publicity stunt at the zoo? I think not. Sorry, fellas. You may continue your bashing.

All I can say is GO GET EM TF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[EvilBlackGun]

And your total and undeniable truth of this statement ...

... is? Please avoid the jerky murky words of Green-peace et al. Just the facts, No paragraphs.

Hopefully, they will roll over those responsible for this mess.

Frosty, what does that mean next? Are the statements then shared with the attorneys for each side so that each side can lambast the other?

What about witnesses? When are they going to be deposed? Or composted? Or whatever the heck you do with witnesses!
