I personally am joining Michael Hohmann and voting for number 3. Since we are on the subject of "Voting", how about the 'anti-war resolution supporters doing more than accusing others of lacking moral fortitude. Show some of their own. Cathy Leighton offered the perfect vehicle and one that would put real teeth into the anti-war resolution. Have those who are militantly anti-war start a petition drive to have a referendum on the ballot where all of Minneapolis votes. Part of the moral chest-pounding has been that most people in Minneapolis support the resolution. Such an approved resolution would have real impact on the national level and not be viewed as nothing more than an empty political gesture. All it takes is a little work from people who have "Real" moral convection of their own, rather than just moral convictions "About" others.
