Boeing Corporation, which is located in Rosslyn and will be a beneficiary of the proposed Cultural Center, paid for a big slick supplement to the Washington Post today about fighting in Afghanistan. This company has not and will not contribute a dime to any arts or cultural center in Arlington that I am aware of. Why are we rewarding these rich PIGS for their contribution to human misery through our undeclared wars in the Middle East?Emilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-963208964879498427.post-81111987813936741092009-06-19T18:01:49.951-04:002009-06-19T18:01:49.951-04:00There was philanthropy in the Rust Belt 50 years a...There was philanthropy in the Rust Belt 50 years ago.

I tried to access the June 16th meeting at home and at the library.<br /><br />Person at the library assistance desk made a couple phone calls and told me that "Chris Zimmerman wanted it blocked, the meeting may be broadcast again on Saturday on cable."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
