Vote YES on 5 and 6

Since we are soap boxing - I am voting YES on 5 + 6, as ineffective as those resolutions may be. I am very glad they are on the ballot.

If you identified the questions and gave you reasons, that'd be more useful.

This is basically a followup to two earlier postings on the same subject within the last two days.

I'm aware of that. However, not everybody else is, and I figure it's better to provide relevant information in a single post, rather than expect everyone to have read all the previous ones.

Oops, hit return too quick. Even citing the earlier posts would have been helpful!

I didn't want to *really* soapbox - I figure people can sort out this stuff for themselves but I thought I would register that not everyone here (or in Somerville) is against 5 + 6.

(now back to our regularly scheduled Davis Sq. content... ;-)

i think it would have been redundant. people are too lazy to scroll back these days...

Fair enough, but it would be more useful for you to tell us why you're voting yes.

"Maybe" on 7

If I held a sign saying "'Maybe' on 7" (or any other number, for that matter) right at the polling place door, would the cops shoo me away?

You need to be x number of feet away so as to not intimidate voters.

On the other hand if you had a warmup jacket with the abbreviation for number and a 6 on the back you could subliminally influence the person behind you in line:

No. 6

Anyone carrying any kind of sign has to stay a certain distance away from the entrance to the building where the polling station is. I do not know the exact distance. Usually there is a police officer to enforce this limit.
