Reason being the same reason we didn't see much if any of them at all those meetings: Empty threats.<br />They have nothing but empty arguments to offer.<br /><br />It's time we returned long island and the Islanders to past glory.<br /><br />Tomorrow is the first BIG step.<br /><br />See you all there.<br /><br />-Big Van VaderAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-82413253023585141642009-08-03T11:32:22.392-04:002009-08-03T11:32:22.392-04:00Hmm- an "anonymous" who is against devel...Hmm- an "anonymous" who is against development and investment on LI... wow, never seen that before!<br /><br />Where are you people in reality? How come with all of the town meetings and Lighthouse meetings Ive been to I have never seen ANY of you in real life? Where are you? Are you real or are you just disembodied anonymous Internet complainers?<br /><br />If you believe what youre saying here, answer Nicks question. How will doing NOTHING and building NOTHING and investing NOTHING help ANYHTING? And back it up with some facts instead of just sticking your fingers in your ears while saying NO NO NO.<br /><br />And show up tomorrow. Stand up for what you supposedly believe, or else your anonymous complaints on the Web dont mean JACK. :)TheMetalChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627766622392257867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-24071300978031350792009-08-03T11:20:09.532-04:002009-08-03T11:20:09.532-04:00Funny that you insult me with something that has n...Funny that you insult me with something that has no basis in fact, and you immediately try to dismiss me as "just a hockey fan" despite the great pains I've taken to keep this site fact-based. Bravo. <br /><br />I have never said traffic wasn't a concern; nobody who drives around here could say traffic is non-existent. However, I think it's a cop-out because I fail to see how traffic will improve if we ignore it. So, please, since you're here, I'd love to know your opinion on this:<br /><br />Will traffic improve if we continue to do nothing except reflexively complain about it every time someone has an idea, or are we more likely to do something with a large project that forces people to study the area and brings needed investment to improve the infrastructure?Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11753698648862261183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-4412857377146596192009-08-03T11:04:14.255-04:002009-08-03T11:04:14.255-04:00There have been commenters here that voiced their ...There have been commenters here that voiced their concerns, but you dismiss traffic concerns as just minor, when it is a growing concern. The area in question is at a gridlock level as it is now; just trivializing opponents' traffic concerns as not a valid argument proves to me you look at this with blue & orange tinted glasses.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6420070021149211641.post-84706378047023937162009-08-03T08:54:50.871-04:002009-08-03T08:54:50.871-04:00Whoo!!!

I have challenged the anonymous Internet voices of bitter dissent regarding this development to show up in person to the last half dozen meetings and express their alleged concerns in a researched and fact-based manner... but none of them ever have. They prefer sticking to e-yelling and a stagnant combination of NIMBYism, defeatism, and elitism. <br /><br />The difference between them and us is that we are REAL- and we are going to get this done! :DTheMetalChickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06627766622392257867noreply@blogger.com
