But the Opryland Hotel was chosen for several reasons, I am sure, and one of them is that it is a really conservative venue. It is where medical conventions and other business meetings take place.
It is a real place, not a 'hip' place.
And the family running it has a surname Gaylord.
There is nothing wrong with that.

Time to cast aside such childish things. Adulthood is good.
This is about marketing, PR, and Political images. You think GW might've thought the whole "Mission Accomplished" thing should've been done different now? What about John Kerry's windsurfing pic?

I'd like to see some adults actually running the show.

And when you say YOUR culture, I'm curious as to what culture you think you're actually living in today? These "childish things" as you put it, childish they may be.
