It has been some time since anything truly logical took place in the Council Chambers. We hear things like a resolution opposing the Iraq war, past resolutions dealing with a Syrian Prisoner, the CIA, Secret Service, etc. The question to be asked is: how do these ridiculous resolutions promote productive agenda for Duluth?
If a Councilor wants to send a letter to the President to express his or her opinions on the Iraq war, so be it. On the other hand, this assinine resolution does two things, it represents the views of a few of our Councilors, possibly a majority of Duluth and yet, it does not represent the views of many Duluthians. The resolution has about the same weight to the US Government as a grain of sand has on Park Point. It is embarrassing to witness the spectacle of these little goofballs acting like this resolution has any more weight with President Bush, Congress or the US Military than the ink used to write it. Come on people!
Let's get back to the business of Duluth and stop distracting yourselves with these innane, useless and utterly meaningless debates. If you want to express your opinion, do it on your own time. You have been elected to do the City's business, please get on with it.

Hack, I could not agree with you more. I tried to pass this message on last night at the council meeting.
I don't care about the resolution on Iraq as far as to what you think about the war. This was a matter if the council should take action on this issue. My thought is no.
In fact I will take issue on the council debating any natianal issue. Do they have a voice yes. So does everyone else. pick up the phone and call your congressman. Please do not represent 85 thousand plus on issues the Duluth City Council does not to be involved in.
