good talk

"Snowden" was pretty-good.  He's pictured as an epileptic little-guy, I don't think he is epileptic, it doesn't sound like it, and he's 5'11".  His girlfriend, Lindsay Mills, looks pretty-good in her picture, as does the chick playing-her, nice eyes.  What got me, was when that simple, Eric Holder, was trying to lure Ed back to the States to face Prosecution, the way it sounded was like, Holder was offering him a reduced-sentence, say 20 years in prison instead of 25 (they went real-light on that Manning guy (girl).  At the end of the movie (not giving anything away), Ed's actual father says ...He'll die in Russia, he's never coming back.  Las Vegas is hot and heavy for stadium costing billions, and everybody agrees that 750 mil will be raised by increasing the "Guest Room Tax," there seems to be no dissent on this.  40 years ago throughout the country, the tax on a hotel room was usually 5%.  Then it increased, to often threefold today.  Locales are no-longer thankful that visitors to their cities are spending money for goods and services that otherwise would go unsold.  Today, municipalities want to take their Visitors, turn-them upside-down and shake-out their pockets, if Las Vegas' tourists feel that they're being gouged, they might not want to go there
