In re Colors - I got a look at their business model before they opened and am surprised any sane person financed their workers paradise. Sympathy draws someone in once maybe. In the end communism failed...again.

Less fuzzy math might put 1883 $15 milion at about $300 million today. A more likely target.

$15 million Brooklyn Bridge is $15 billion today. They're off to a good start.

Yes, absolutely. For example, I have been living in Toronto for three years now, and I am very actively engaged in local politics, am frequently quoted in the news about civic issues, but I cannot vote for the mayor or my councilor. I think this is backward, as I know more about local politics than the majority of Torontonians. I think it is definitely possible to be a New Yorker without being an American.

logic?

Well, non-citizen, legal immigrants do, in fact, pay income (federal) tax as well, but we're not talking about letting them vote in presidential races.

Well at least Colors isn't *floundering* because that would be really sad news.
