ARE ALL BALLOTS AS EXHAUSTING AS MY BALLOT?

Whew, it’s done. Dropped in the box at my local library.
But it took forever. In California we have, for instance, ranked choice (probably a good thing) and school board choices (tough for those of us long aged out of public education) etc, etc, etc. And Propositions. Propositions test the limits of fortitude.
Propositions work like this:
Allow krill fishing off of Pier 72. (Yes or No.)
If you really want krill fishing you must carefully also vote the right way on the next Proposition:
Ban krill fishing off Pier 71. (Yes or No.) This might keep krill away from Pier 72; you have to figure it out. Tricky, elaborate explanations run to multiple pages. It’s also wise to read who’s funding what.
Still, we persevere. We rank, we choose, we study, we fill in the circles.
Democracy will survive.
So true, Fran!

Sweet Fran, Congratulations for casting your vote and making those difficult decisions on all of the SF Propositions and candidates.
As for the Krill issue…. Only those who eat Krill for breakfast should be allowed to fish for Krill on Pier 72. It should also be restricted to people under five feet tall and who use a pole no longer than three (3′) feet long, with a single barbless hook of a size no larger than #8. Bait should be only the natural food resources and artificial bait or lures are not permitted. It must be manditory that any Krill taken off of Pier 72 must be consumed within 48 hours of harvesting time.
Hang tough! Bob D
Oh me, it is too late to amend my Proposition 🙄. I am gathering a Task Force to craft a new Proposition for our next ballot to incorporate these excellent points. Although, I’ve heard there is a counter proposition being crafted by the National Society for the Protection of Krill.
I agree . . .but small price to pay for democracy!!
Amen to that!
I’d love to get your crib notes or a cheat sheet😁
They amounted to a stack weighing several pounds. (PS, Hi Sarah!)
Hi. I saw a good sign on someone’s property yesterday. It said: “Dictator or Democracy. That’s the choice.”
I fear the sign is right. Vote on!
