I actually see no difference between the three taxpayer-funded buildings
named "Police Station", "Library", and "City Hall" in terms of detriment
to our Libertarian credibility. They're all taxpayer-funded buildings.
Note that I'm not commenting on any of these buildings with regard to
Libertarian credibility, other than to say that the effect of using any
of these three buildings is equal, if it exists. I'll reiterate the
comment from Matthew Barnes at our last LPC ExCom meeting, "I have no
problem using the King's muskets against him," I'm sure paraphrasing one
of the Founders, though I'm not aware which one.
But not seeing any consensus on this so far, I'm glad we passed the
resolution authorizing the Treasurer to ensure that when we use Milano's
party room, we purchase enough to justify our use of the room. It looks
like we'll be there for a while...
BTW, we can get a 14x14 room in the LGBT Center at Market and Octavia
for $30/month (for two hours). But if we're going to spend $30/month
anyway, I'd rather have that be paying for pizza and beer. Should I
look into the Center, or is that a non-starter?

about using ANY of the three for quite a while now! No, I do not
subscribe to using the king's musket stuff, because where do you stop?
And if there is no stop, are we all liberals now? And to me, yes,
using the LGBT Center is a non-starter.
