I don’t beleive that this particular event is our great hope of prosperity. And some things can’t be had for money, like the peace and security of one’s own community, and the ability to be able to just live our lives, bothering no one, and asking for the same in return. Not every trade-off is worth it for the almighty dollar.
You seem to saying that some small inconvenience caused by traffic on I-90 isn't worth the tens of thousands of dollars that Biloxi Spring break brought to the city, even though as a city you were literally on your back economically five years ago from a hurricane and just last summer again from the oil spill. I guess every location has to have some folk who can't abide others enjoying themselves and having a good time. I'm willing to wager however, that you're a distinct minority.
