[Vision2020] Remove Tom Hansen!

[Scott Dredge]

I too was once an Oakland Athletics fan.  In my
younger years I would trek regularly to the
Oakland/Alameda County Coliseum to watch Reggie
Jackson, Mike Epstein, Dick Green, Campy Campaneris,
Joe Rudi, Catfish Hunter, Vida Blue, John "Blue Moon"
Odom, and all the rest of my beloved A's.  So blinded
by my misguided faith, I even rooted for the A's
against the Mets and the immortal Willie Mays in the
1973 World Series.  I have since admitted my own human
failings and have come to see the light that only the
SF Giants of the National League and the Seattle
Mariners of the American League are the only truly
righteous teams of Major League Baseball.

Tom, I urge you to renounce the dark side or face
bannishment from the vision2020 list!  If you are
defiant I will make a motion to have you removed from
the list.  It is my hope that Dale, no friend of
yours, will second my motion and then there be a small
discussion at which some point someone will "call the
question".  After a vote, it is my wish that the
majority decide to ban your from the list
for-r-r-r-r-ever!!! (Rolling r's added for emphasis). 
For those of you who are so persistent in asking "Who
decides?"  My answer is "me" since I brought the
motion to the table.  And "my standard" is Robert's
Rule of Order.  Contact me off list if you want a link
to this, or just type it into a Google search.
