G20, G7, G8
Just one question. Why in the world would any city volunteer for a week-long shutdown of all business, a security nightmare, and a guaranteed riot?
Prestige? Boasting rights? Those are abstract personal feelings that don't compensate for the real risk of burning the place down.

This is an observable fact with Spokane's city government, but I thought other cities weren't quite as bad. Apparently they are. ¶ 6:47 AM
