"Oh c'mon!.. You don't really think you'd be doing that forever.. did you?"...

My jaw dropped..

i stand corrected.. i guess its a 99.9% money issue. cept i don't see how making people pay would overshadow the loss of revenue. unless of course ALL the die hards actually paid.

if that is indeed true and its about the cash. boycott. i hate to put the pressure on the townsfolk. but if people refuse to pay they will lose out big time, and thus be forced to reverse the decision. and then the townsfolk will eventually reap the benefits of a prospering beach town once again.
