California Town Votes to Love Nature
What, no "Impeach Bush" measure on the ballot? They disappoint me.BOLINAS, Calif. - Residents of this quirky coastal town north of San Francisco decided overwhelmingly to declare their love of nature, skunks and a few other things perhaps not as easily understood. Iâd keep an eye on the power lines up there. Sponsored by a local woman known for wearing hats made of tree bark and newspaper, Measure G won 314 to 152 in the town of 1,200, where residents are so protective of their isolated way of life that they regularly remove highway signs pointing into town. She sounds like sheâd be a "thought leader" in any community. Lady, do you know how many North Korean kids would kill to have one of your hats on their dinner table? The text of the measure, in its entirety: "Vote for Bolinas to be a socially acknowledged nature-loving town because to like to drink the water out of the lakes to like to eat the blueberries to like the bears is not hatred to hotels and motor boats. Dakar. Temporary and way to save life, skunks and foxes (airplanes to go over the ocean) and to make it beautiful." Wonder whatâs in that water? Posted by: tu3031 2003-11-05 |
