The village where I live had a meeting this last Saturday to approve or deny a 'draft resolution' that would thereafter be revised and passed on to the county planning board.

Because it was essentially a vote for unknown language, it failed about 3 to 1. That's how honest folks vote on things. I am deeply suspicious of the folks that voted to accept the draft resolution, since after revision it could have said virtually anything.

Congress, insofar as they vote for stuff they don't understand, are vermin. The go to vote for anything not understood should be 'no'. Unfortunately, things can be drafted such that a 'no' vote is actually a 'yes' vote for new stuff. I have seen initiatives drafted to phrase things in the negative, like 'this initiative will prevent a new agency from being formed to harvest all organs of orphans for sale to rich transplant tourists, which will otherwise begin to murder babies no later than such and such a date'.

In a case like that, voting no is actually voting to create a new agency to murder orphan babies and harvest their organs for profitable sale to the rich.

Politics is inherently evil.
