People, this is getting ridiculous. Let's try to take others'
ideas into consideration ourselves, and not dictate who
should do what. This kind of rhetoric only inflames tensions,
and doesn't do anything to help figure out a solution
acceptable to all.
My suggestion: let's create some sort of constitutional
machinery which would serve as the rules which acknowledge
the right of majority rule and minority respect. Voting can't
hurt, so that's what I propose -- and something more than
just half should be required for a final tally on the shirt, so
there's no bickering about the final product after the fact.
Does that work for everyone?
