In my view, it's the worst possible way to gauge how the "public" in general feels. A ballot issue would be OK--but, ultimately, we can't make every decision by ballot. That's why we elect representatives and leaders. I think this issue should get a thorough airing before the appropriate decision-making bodies, and then a decision should be made. If some folks don't like the outcome, there is still the recourse of launching a ballot initiative." <br />- Redmond Facebook readerDeeply Engagednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-485581331425169493.post-33074133859852970682011-08-07T14:43:15.119-07:002011-08-07T14:43:15.119-07:00"In theory, there's no difference between..."In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice.
