Still do you not believe that most arenas these days do have corporate sponsors?

No, please don't steal and misappropriate that phrase, because it was used in
an entirely different way that had nothing whatsoever to do with what you're
talking about, the two of you.

Roger, it has to do with the fact that the reason it was named after that
person is due to the large endowment from Alcola tha the college received. My
only reason I bring it up was that you said the SWP convention had no corporate
sponsorship for its venue. To steal an Alice phrase, the ship has sailed. Every
large venue is propped up by corporate sponsorship of some sort.

When I was there it seemed like there were more than 501 people in there. Or
perhaps we are talking about two different places on campus. I was in a packed
auditorium, but the actual convention sessions were held in some kind of
facility on the very end of the campus. I think it might have been some kind of
sports arena. But so what? And what does whatever or whomever it was named
after have to do with anything?

Roger, first of all their auditorium only seats 501, wouldn't work for any
major party. Secondly, and more importantly, it is named after and honors the
Alcooa corporation, one of the worst poluters:

The SWP always holds its conventions on the Oberlin College campus with no
corporate sponsorship.

Where would you hold it? Comcast center? Citi (bank) field? Bank of America

sponsorship of public venues is here to stay.

PS. BTW have you been to a national convention of any organization for PWDs?
Take a look at those corporate sponsors.

HI
I don't think Hilary will really do anything she says she will. She will say
anything people want to hear, then do what the big money wants. If she were
really going to do anything. Why was the convention held in the Wells Fargo
convention center.
