You're missing the point. I can agree with most of what you say (other than the rabid frothing, which I hate no matter what you're view) but at a certain point you have to recognize that this thread is fruitless. If, for example, someone were to run for public office arguing in favor of a new arena as part of a platform, this would be a different story. Unfortunately, that's not anything close to what this thread is arguing. The spirit of this thread is hey, we want a new arena and the Sac city council didn't ask our opinions (and probably didn't ask anyones). It's really the poll itself that annoys me, this thread is looking for numbers, not ideas, which is really absurd because the city monopolizes that game. I'd say a more intelligent tactic to take would be to go to saveourkings.com (or through this site and other Sac organizations) and try to actually organize a citizens action group, maybe encourage officials to run on the Kings, get a public debate going. (Granted, I'm out of the Sac local media area, so I don't know how much of an issue this is, but judging by the Bee articles and discussion here, it's not big enough) You know, actually try to change things rather than yelling at people on a message board about abetting enemies and whatnot.
Maybe you could learn something from those damn hippies who get their agenda to the city council. Seriously, I'm not joking, you could. Groups have an agenda, they organize (much to the ire of other folks, naturally) and actually get things done. This has yet to happen (to my knowledge) on any serious level. The saveourkings site is a step in the right direction, actually organizing. But the Sacramento residents (or W Sac, outlying potential arena sites, and the state if it comes to that) need to step up to get this done.
