Colorado has one of the most direct-democratic system in the US. It only takes a few (3,974 required in Denver) signatures of the public to get on the ballot. My mail-in ballot came in today (woo-hoo!) and there was something a little unexpected. Believe it or not, I did not read my blue book or sample ballot. So, how would you vote on the following initiative?
"Initiative Ordinance 300: Shall the voters for the City and County of Denver adopt an Initiative Ordinance to require the creation of an extraterrestrial affairs commission to help ensure the health, safety and cultural awareness of Denver residents and visitors in relation to potential encounters or interactions with extraterrestrial intelligent beings or their vehicles, and fund such commission from grants, gifts and donations?"
Isn't democracy awesome?
