Ow ow ow don't twist my arm. It hurts too much. Clemens comment about debating and no decision is a good one. In Edmonton where I lived for 60 years city hall could waste tax payers money on the most insane ideas that were impossible to impliment from the get go. More than once this band of politicians in the capital city of the Alberta would spend as much as 3 months debating a cat bylaw. Do they need to be tagged like dogs ? Should they be allowed to run free ? Who is responsible to clean up after them ? Should they be neutured or spayed ? This act of foolishness would crop up every few years with a different cast to display their talent and stupidity. Cats are cats. If you let one outside it will do as it pleases and there is no way to force them to behave to human standards. How can any group discuss something so dumb for so long ?

Did they appoint a committee to study the problem first hand? I could entertain myself for a while imagining the field work involved.

Can't honestly remember but I am sure a study group would have cost more than it was worth. And who would talk to the cats for their opinion and suggestions ?? Maybe dogs............heh heh.

Never known that to bother a politician. After all, it's our money, not theirs, that's being wasted.

You got that right. Years ago they tore down city hall to build a new and improved version. All the folks working there were moved out to different leased buildings for the interm. They are still there except for the mayor and city council. They moved into the new building that was just for them. No other departments or offices. New city hall was a show piece that was large, airie and looked like a pyramid. At the time it was the most expensive building in North America for the number of folks working in it. Talk about sh*t for brains and money wasted. Tax payers were not even allowed in unless they had an appointment to see some one. Just marvelous.
