I have got it! After listening to MPR this afternoon-I think the true test
for deciding who to vote for for CC is to ask them what they think of Cage
Fighting. I heard about on MPR a town where the city council has approved
Cage fighting (yes where two people get in a cage and fight it off)-and I
thought it would be a great idea to ask in some of these wards where somehow
people are having trouble deciding who to vote for-and maybe need a little
more information about their candidates! Lets ask the candidates about their
feelings on cage fighting.

DZ/ Let me be the first candidate to respond to this somewhat curious but
droll suggestion:
DZ/ It is not quite clear to me if it is candidates in the cage fighting,
or, is it the supporters of the of the candidates that are in the cage
fighting? This distinction could create different responses, depending upon
the answer. Although I really don't know what cage fighting really is, I
would venture to say, from the sounds of it, it beats dueling pistols at 50
paces. Either way, there could be some merit here - it certainly couldn't
be as bad as the so called news, debate and animated discussion that goes on
in the corporate media. If the debate that now goes on in the corporate
media would produce George Bush as president of the United States, could
cage fighting produce a worse result? Let's not be afraid to give it a try.
On a trial bases of course.

Surely the most important task for all of us is to leave behind a planet
that will sustain our great grandchildren. So all of our personal actions,
as well as our political policies, must be tempered with an eye to long term
sustainability, not short term profit or expediency. As we struggle to
solve the day to day problems -- crime, jobs, budget shortfalls,
homelessness, traffic congestion, and air quality, we will look to solutions
that serve both our immediate needs and lay the foundation for the
post-petroleum economy.
