[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your opinion, totally disagree.

But keep making your selfish proclamations.

How is it selfish to want to protect a playing field, tennis courts, a playground, mature trees and green space?  It seems that the selfish ones are those who want to pave over it, even at the price of sacrificing these aspects of the park.

As a previous poster suggested, if a pool is desired find a brown (i.e., already paved or developed site) versus a green one.  The western side of the UDC campus would be perfect, once the Murch trailer park is demolished.[/quote]

+1. I love how it's the pro pool people who keep calling the rest of us "selfish" and keep telling us to just give up. Just because Mary Cheh is playing dictator and clearly ignoring the process, doesn't mean the rest of us need to just roll over and give in. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. If you recall, opinions are like assholes. [/quote]

Yes, of course, those who wish to protect the park are vilified.  Tree-huggers aren't just selfish, they're NIMBYs/exclusionary/anti-kids/old/obfuscating, etc.  This being DC, no doubt race will soon rear its ugly head as well.  Or Mary Che[h] might just brand the pro-park faction the "enemies of the people."[/quote]
