I don't know, Dale, I've never read it. Why did you ask? Do you like it? Do 
you think I would? Maybe I'll give it a whirl after I finish the Elmore 
Leonard novel I've been reading during ad breaks watching 'Cheers' reruns.  
I've read enough of the Old Testament to know I don't want all the laws to 
become part of either the US Code, the Idaho Code, or Moscow's ordinances.

By what standards should we enact our laws? Let me see, I hope we don't run 
around like chickens like Moscow just did.  If we are going to pass such a 
law, and introduce a different version every week, I suggest citizens have a 
chance to comment on it each time; each law was different, yet no comment 
was allowed the day it was passed.

I think perhaps the problem should be defined.  Was the problem a topless 
car wash? Why not deal with it as Linda Pall suggested, and go after them 
for operating a business in a residential area?  As I've said before, I 
think this 'problem' was minor, and I don't think the council needed to take 
any action.  I'm starting to think this was not about having a topless car 
wash, but rather about Moscow not having a law controlling topless women.

I don't think a statute should be passed that turns naked three-year olds 
into medemeanants.  I know, it's probably a relatavist thing to say, but 
that's me.

I also think we should treat the genders similarly.  I'm trying to figure 
out what else I think, but I seem to have misplaced the Liberal's Guidebook 
you seem to think we have been issued.
