I approve, and I'm sure the rest of the Council will too. When will |
| 9 |
you have it ready? |

Nobody likes any of the options on the table right now. But, they're |
| 12 |
the only options available to us RIGHT NOW. It would be wonderful if |
| 13 |
at some point in the future a better option existed. You'll have no |
| 14 |
trouble convincing the Council to adopt it when it is ready, because |
| 15 |
about the only thing I can promise for next week is that whatever |
| 16 |
option we approve will suck - just hopefully less than the |
| 17 |
alternatives. If we had a great option available, you probably |
| 18 |
wouldn't need to call for a Council vote on it. It doesn't make for |
| 19 |
great popularity, but we're all smart folks, so the only reason we |
| 20 |
need a Council is for those cases where there isn't an obvious |
| 21 |
solution we can all just line up behind. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
In any case, the whole reason we call for list discussion before |
| 24 |
voting is so that people have an opportunity to offer better |
| 25 |
suggestions, and point out issues with the ones that have been |
| 26 |
proposed. If we didn't care, we'd just shoot from the hip and |
| 27 |
everybody could spend their time discussing how out of touch we are |
| 28 |
instead. :) |
