Wizard, I certainly want to believe that Niland is honorable. He certainly has stood up for first ammendment rights. I would agree with this measure if not for the context of other city government behavior. I know that you are a neighbor of my friend Steven Posch and that he speaks highly of y

Thank you for your support of the actions that we took in the past week. It is a reflection of our community and this city that discrimination is not something that helps foster anything but more discrimination. When I look at the Middle East and the violence, I see a hotbed of intolerance and

Yeah, I never understood that. Stonewall DFL didn't initially endorse Catherine, yet they endorsed Al Galmon. Maybe they didn't know he had some troubling positions at the time. Aw, well, the Gallmon endorsement came back to bite them. The City Pages ran that really very nice story about the e

Is Catherine Shreves going to run again? I know there are those on the school board who need to be replaced. For example, Sandra Miller has been disappointing. Wizard Marks, Central R.T.Rybak wrote: > I agree with Eva that the Minneapolis School Board deserves credit for > taking a stand again

I agree with Eva that the Minneapolis School Board deserves credit for taking a stand against discrimination by the Boy Scouts. I hope people also note that a key player in the school board's actions was Catherine Shreves. You may remember that when she was running for the seat the Stonewall Ca

This fellow Kirk Zimpfer writes me occasionally. He is unhappy with all these "homos" getting into public life, etc., etc. How did I get to know Kirk? Well from the Bush2000 list--which is a list that has quite a diversity of opinion. I was out of town last week, so had not heard the story tha

Even though the effect of the resolution may be nil, it's also good to leave a record in public documents that some folks actually do object to human rights violations. I'm willing to give Niland the benefit of the doubt on this and say that in his heart he objects to that kind of treatment of pe

People generally try to come up with explanations for things that don't make sense. I think it's just the way the human mind works. And recently, city government actions that don't make sense seem to be focussed on the neighborhoods of proposed light rail stops. (Hard Times, Hi-Lake, now Many Ri

> So the actual effect of this resolution is nil. Isn't that why it passed? They have to throw a bone at us left-wing types once in a while, don't they? That way maybe we won't worry so much about our First Ammendment rights or notice that they are giving the city away to the likes of McCaffer
