Gotta save up some of Uncle Sam's money to fund NAMBLA.

NMLB always makes me think of NAMBLA too.

I wonder if they'll be testifying in Michael Jackson's case.

Some of these closings will actually *help* the communities affected.

Monterey base, closed about 10 years ago. Monterey now has an airport, University and a huge mall. All bringing $$ into the community.

SF Presidio. Closed about 10 years ago. Presidio has been revitalized. businesses in the Presidio hire thousands and bring $$ in. Lucas production is moving in and it will employ thousands and bring in $$$$$.

Tons of examples like that.

Besides many of those bases are squalid. Concord is delighted the ghosttown of a base there is closing.
