Speak Softly and Don’t Bring A Sign

Monday night Salisbury Council voted to modify their Rules of Procedure to prohibit signs. Fair enough. They could be a fire hazard if the crowd was big enough. But please don’t lecture us on decorum.

“The council arrived at their normal time to be greeted by all these protest signs,” Dunn said Monday. He said he thought they disturbed the decorum of the meeting room.

“You don’t see them hanging in the chamber of the U.S. Senate. You don’t see them hanging in the chamber of the General Assembly,” Dunn said.

To steal a line from Lloyd Bentsen’s 1988 Vice Presidential debate with Dan Quayle:

Mike, I know the U.S. Senate and I know the General Assembly and believe me you are neither.
