In watching Walgreen's current TV commercials, we are
given a glimpse of life in the town of Perfect.  The
commercial goes on to claim because we live nowhere
near Perfect, it's good to have Walgreen's nearby.

Apparently, life is so perfect in Waterville, ME their
City Council has no legitimate business to attend to
and can use its time to play debate club.  Isn't too
bad Minneapolis has legitimate City Council business
it must attend to?

On another note, just a personal observation on this
whole anti-war resolution business that I wasn't going
to bring back up but others won't let rest.  It was
previously mentioned by others how, in the Vietnam
era, the anti-war movement was brought directly to the
people.  Why the change now?  Is it because the
anti-war people can't successfully plead their case to
the American public and must resort to trying to
"sneak it by"?  It seems a lot like the same way
developers got their TIF districts and other
subsidies: it's a lot easier to convince just 7
Council Members and 1 Mayor than to have to convince
an entire city of people.
