Honestly, I've really tried to stay out of this discussion, mostly.  I don't 
have a horse in this race, but, perhaps the result could affect me in some way. 
Don't know.

But this rubbish from Phillip is a bit too much for me.

Just why would any citizen vote one way in a particular type of referendum, but 
would vote the opposite in another type, over the exact same subject?  Sure 
sounds like some WOK reasoning to me, and no, I'm not some right wing idiot 
Trumpster.

Once again, I'm reminded, human intelligence is surely a myth ...
