<DIV>So you are saying that legislation that passes with a close vote, like the abolition of slavery is bad law, and laws that pass with near legislative unanimity are good laws, like the one to go to war with Iraq?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>A law is good or bad based on the merits of its outcomes and justifications, not the number of yeas and nays cast, dontcha think?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>BTW, how do you have a bike rack sheltered and well lit? Indoor bike rack lighting?</DIV>
