On the news I was just watching, the reporter said that the City of Portland was considering implementing a "street fee."
"Details about the street fee are still emerging," he said, "but in a survey, people were not necessarily outraged."
It cracked me up. I wonder what the survey said. Maybe something like:
"Portland is considering a 'street fee'. No one yet knows what this would entail. Would you consider yourself:
A) Outraged, no matter what.
B) Most likely outraged, but not necessarily to the point of public protest.
C) Potentially outraged, depending on how hip the protesters are."
Oh man, and you should've seen the attempt to fluoridate water here. Ha.
I was also reminded of the Portlandia sketch in which is said, "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention."
