Ahh, Kurt Vonnegut... I miss him
Some of these quotes sure hit tonight city council on the head. Especially the first few.
I think they did the right thing. No pain, no gain. Salisbury been in a rut.
From whatI see, 3/4 of the the population of Salisbury thinks they are smarter, and MUCH wiser, than either Sagan OR Jefferson. Because, you know, our government DOES NOT violate our rights at will, abuse their power, or do anything thats not in OUR interest. I wouldn't call those people blind, stupid, hoodwinked, or bamboozled. I think Sagan and Jefferson already did THAT.
