I have a huge number of signs - er - padding for kayaks available, at a very low cost (free). Some "friends" are using them for backings to their targets at the firing range. I did discover several things by running for an office (aka Advanced Civics 201): 1. Kayaking is more fun. 2. Don't listen to "friends" who say, "You should run for that office." (Craig) 3. Votes cost a lot of money. It probably would be cheaper to give money directly to voters. The winner paid about $100.00 per vote. 4. A corollary to 3. - People only vote if you take them to the polls (a bit cynical, I understand), or if they think they will profit enormously or suffer enormously. In my town only 30 percent (!) voted. 5. Truth and Justice run a poor third to Money spent on elections. And most emphatically, 6. Kayaking is a LOT more fun.
