Oh So That Is All That It Takes?
Today Madison passed a referendum to Bring the Troops Home. So I guess that means they will be on the plane home tomorrow eh?
Other referendum issues voted by Madison and passed are:
Changing the harsh red color of Mars to a more pleasant color of Mauve
Gravity changing from 9.8 N to 9.45 N
All bunny rabbits receiving opposible thumbs
Madison becoming the capitol of the US

I'd love to lose a few extra pounds but I think if they decrease gravity I'll still be just as fat. :(
The great thing about this referendum being the focus is that the Madison government isn't focusing on Madison. These are the people that have brought the smoking ban, requiremnts for new apartments to accomodate low income families, mandatory sick pay for even part time employees and increasing the minimum wage in Madison above the state's. Now that the war thing has passed I shudder as to what is next.
It is telling that the Madison gov't isn't focused on Madison. In some ways it is an extension of Federalism (which is a conservative concept-that the States will be a "lab" for social change that will boil (up?)down to the national level). Cities will make decisions that may or may not be accepted statewide. States will then decide what the nation will do.
