Anything that says that you've got new money coming in, I think, is a good sign, maybe something that would attract a gaming partner that would make them more competitive. |
As far as I am concerned, this is a totally bone-headed idea. As it stands now, there are way too many 'no turn on red' signs, most of which serve no obvious purpose. As a pedestrian, I've experienced almost no problems with the turn-on-red law. |
At this point it would be a very polarizing and divisive event that could fatally damage the effort to move Haiti forward. |
At this point the entire transition is at risk. Drug traffickers don't want a functioning, effective government with a functioning, effective police force and customs. They have their hooks in the police, and they have their hooks in parts of the transitional government. |
clearly a last resort. |
Elections are clearly not the whole solution. But you can't get a legitimate government that can begin to deal with Haiti's problems and build something out of this failed state without them. |
Even with all the problems, nobody here is saying they want them to leave -- on the left, right, or center. They are needed here not for one year, or two years, but for the next 10 years. |
I am surprised, honored and humbled to enter the Wall of Fame. |
I think that's what we're all trying to gather. We've got one proposed licensee saying, 'We'll give you a free arena,' and another saying, 'I can only give you a first-class casino.' Somewhere in between would be the truth, I think. |
I think these results are really unexpected. |
I think these results are really unexpected. I think it is a wake-up call to the research and university community. |
I've worked in several large companies (e.g., SRI, McGraw-Hill, the United States Postal Service) and never seen anything like it. You couldn't get anything done without filling out a form. There was even a form that you had to fill out when there wasn't any regular form available. |
It is actually one of the really strong pieces of evidence in the report that we should be celebrating. |
It was a mess at first. But the people were unbelievable. They waited, they were patient, they didn't leave. |
It's not impossible to hold free and fair elections, but it's going to be very dicey. |
