Why in the world would any reasonable person in the middle of a war be considering building a $25 million dollar glass lava lamp in the center of a "ghost town"? Hope the glass is shatterproof. Lest we forget that even in America there are people without food on their plate. Maturity allows you to know that a Lava Lamp is but a trinket. Toss out the trivia and come to the party. You lava dreamers want to watch globs shift around while people are dying here or abroad? You are ignoring the signs of the times we are living. Very foolish.

[> Re: SOAP LAKE RECEIVES WORLD-WIDE RECOGNITION AS A GHOST TOWN. -- Sandy, 04:57:19 01/08/03 Wed

With publicity flowing all over the place, the end result has brought a fatal backlash. The City is now being portrayed as a "ghost town." This quirk of fate came about due to a fatally flawed proposal that became a mass publicity scheme. The idiotic nonsense grew by leaps and bounds until it fatally portrayed Soap Lake as a ghost town, a plunge that will further sink and kill tourism, discourage new settlers and cause home owners to scurry to sell Soap Lake properties. All in all it will cause Soap Lake to quickly and quietly sink deeper into a quagmire of it's own making. Many homes are already up for sale. the sellers are discouraged, Soap Lake real estate is getting harder and harder to move. City of Soap Lake can no longer afford to endorse every ripple that froths from the blithering stream. Soap Lake Chamber of Commerce should not become the foster home for orphan projects. It is not wise to become a useful catch-all; an advocate, avenue and fuel for promoting and advertising every disaster in the making. Time and again, City and Chamber have been used selfishly and advantageously for unsensible reasons.
