tomfoolery-What about the current "socilaization of risk"
taking place on the stock market and with banking industry? And the fact that 'socialization of risk' strategy is promoted by this current administration and is additionally currently supported by the McCain campaign. Interestingly, our political system to this point has been following a strategy of 'reverse socialism' ie. instead of government owning/controlling the big business/major corporations (socialism), the major corportations/businesses have been controlling our government (reverse socialism). This has NOT a right or left concept. That is the way the USA has been operating for quite some time under both parties. Are you still against this practice when the White House and congress is controlled by the Republicans or only when the Democrats are in control? The idea of Obama bringing socialism to the table is redundant. He can't bring something that is already there. Socialism (and reverse socialism) have long been a part of the political landscape and a controlling factor in the operation of our American government. It just comes down to who you want right now running the big show a this critical point in time.

Socialist
This will be a sad day for me knowing the boys will be playing just down the road from me and there is no way Icould even think about attending!!! I would have loved to take a 3 hour drive and see the boys play together again...but not if my money is generating funds to support Socialists like Oboma! If you look into his ideas and compare them to what true socialism is we are flirting with a major change that is for sure. Why do you think he is promoting change??? All Ican so is if he is elected president and in 4 years of seeign the direction he mislead you all down I hope you can learn from your mistakes.

News from the Bryce Jordan Center

Lots will open on SUNDAY! This should mean there will be a serious Shakedown street! On the ticket front: "Some patrons had attempted to purchase more than the limit of two tickets. If you had created a second account and purchased another set of tickets, you should have been notified by Ticketmaster that your order was cancelled and money was credited back to your charge card. In the event that you received tickets or TicketFast emails on a cancelled order, NOTE THAT THE BARCODE HAS BEEN INVALIDATED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. Patrons with cancelled tickets will be denied entry and information will be provided for the PA State Attorney General’s Office in the event they need to file a complaint regarding any tickets purchased on the secondary market (StubHub, eBay, TicketNetwork, etc)."
