One suggested change - substitute crackpots with crackheads. More appropriate given the direction our city is being taken in by the developers and their punks on the city council.Jugheadnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-49034318271196275082014-05-06T16:42:01.131-07:002014-05-06T16:42:01.131-07:00I think that as long as they do it like our Legisl...I think that as long as they do it like our Legislature, rotate through different religions 1 meeting have a Baptist preacher the next a Jewish Rabbi, etc etc than it would be ok. They could even have an agnostic leader come and read a poem. That would eliminate any complaints that the city is favoring or sponsoring a specific religion over another.Silent Dogoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693256921060044086.post-66569695485719576012014-05-06T16:12:39.916-07:002014-05-06T16:12:39.916-07:00"Our Developers who art in Elk Grove,
