Proposition 3 would establish the following legislative goals for the Seattle City Council for the next decade:
- Rename as Rosa Parks Avenue all numbered avenues between Fourth and 35th.
- Waive lap-dancing restrictions for victims of famines caused by global warming. Dancers and patrons must be four feet apart. No tipping into g-strings. Clubs must install bright lighting and a three-foot railing between the stage and the audience.
- As a condition for opening a store in Seattle, require Wal-Mart to construct a new hospital for each employee.
- Ban the sale of items manufactured in Myanmar, unless such items demonstrably reduce public school class size.
- Recycle pro-choice biodiversity.
- Guarantee access to quality veterinary care for transgendered circus animals.
- Require doggie day spas to provide services that are both "doggie friendly" and "environmentally friendly" at "reasonable prices."
- Do something about gas-guzzling SUV's, high-flush toilets, blaming the victim, the Mercer Mess, diversity, workforce housing, and AIDS.
- Be nice more and be more nice.
City Attorney's Explanation
The effect of this advisory measure, if approved: What do I know? Your are talking about the Seattle City Council, a legislative body that recently commissioned a poem about itself, that read, in part, "Each member, eyes forward, strokes to heal the vices while meetings ripple like drops across the waters." Proposition 3 is likely to get thrown out by the courts so I didn't waste much time on it.
Should this measure be enacted into law?
Yes [ ] No [ ] I'll get back to you [ ]
Statement For Proposition 3: It can't hurt.
Statement Against Proposition 3: It can't help.
Rebuttal of Statement Against: That's a stupid argument.
Rebuttal of Statement For: Stupid, my keister! You want stupid. Stupid is saying, "It can't hurt." Stupid is you.
