The Final Three of 57 Reasons to Reject the Ohio Learn & Earn Initiative (110606; Plus a Directory)

Well, here we are, at the final three of 57. Heinz would be proud. :–>

From Jill at Writes Like She Talks (original entry relating to Jill’s effort is here):

• Reason 3 — “….. because I don’t like being intimidated by the proponents of Issue 3, who are the most likely to gain and the least likely to lose if Issue 3 passes, while those who are put forth as the ones the proponents are trying to benefit - the education interests - remain either silent or opposed to Issue 3.”

• Reason 2 — (paraphrasing) “because there has to be something wrong with a ballot measure when you can come up with 10 economic reasons, 13 social reasons, 15 legal reasons, 8 reasons based on principle, 7 argumentative reasons, and 4 personal reasons why it should be voted down.”

I will split the final reason in two — Jill’s and mine:

• Reason 1 (Jill) — “Because I want to vote no. ….. don’t play me for a fool. Don’t tell me that this is the best we can do. And don’t tell me it’s for the kids.”

• Reason 1 (Tom) — “Because if two people from the opposite sides of the blogosphere who don’t agree on a whole lot else (but on more than you might think) can agree on 56 reasons, and even more reasons surface while those 56 are being presented, it can’t possibly be a good thing to vote for.”

Vote NO on Issue 3. Tell everyone you know it’s a bad, bad idea.
