Democracy

From tonight's petition signing at the Somerville Theater, a shot of Democracy in action, with a citizen (not me) petitioning the gubbmint for a redress of his grievance. And yes, I signed it too and rewarded myself with a cup of ice cream from the concession stand. Doing my part for democracy AND supporting local business.

They can't keep their terminology straight if they are one in the same.(Which seems to be the case)They have a secretary who may be the one to receive the documents, but I'm waiting for a call back on that right now.

In which case you might end up delivering them to the Traffic & Parking office on Holland Street, which is a lot less photogenic than walking up the City Hall steps and handing them to the City Clerk. Keep us informed.
