1--Have you decided how you are going to vote?
2--Do you mean on Measures 1, 2, and 3?
1--Yes. The ones that will improve our schools, roads, and hospitals.
2--You mean the measures that will raise our taxes.
1--But the TV ads say that our taxes will not increase.
2--Do you believe the TV ads?
1--I like the one where the fireman tells us why we should vote Yes.
2--Don't believe him! Whatever the TV ads tell you, the opposite is true.
1--But the title of Measure 1 is "Better Schools at No Cost."
2--The title should be "Better Schools at Huge Cost."
1--I can't believe that they would lie to us.
2--Of course they lie-that's what politicians do!
