[Lnc-business] updated draft of 4/15/17 LNC minutes

[Alicia Mattson]

At the request of Ms. Harlos, I have re-drafted that section of the minutes
to now read as follows:

Then did Sir Redpath, his arm clad in the purest shimmering samite, hold
aloft the New Jersey-branded, quarter-dollar medallion (acquired on his
last visit with The Sopranos) extracted from his Bag of Holding, signifying
by Divine Providence that Sir McKnight (as regional representative for the
Garden State) was to cast the medallion, and that Maid Harlos should be
granted woman’s privilege to call the coin in the air.

Then did the objectors declare that flipping strange medallions
encapsulated within the confines of purse strings is no basis for making
committee appointments.  Supreme executive power derives from a majority of
the ballots, not from some farcical coinage-tossing ceremony.

Their cries went ignored, the tyranny of the majority having spoken
contrary to the sacred text of Sir Robert.

With a grunt did Sir McKnight heave the medallion upward, only to be
overcome by the natural forces described by Sir Newton.  Maid Harlos did
cry out “New Jersey!” as the medallion plummeted to the ground, leaving Sir
Starr with the freedom fighter George Washington side of the medallion as
his champion.

Lo, the medallion of arbitration thoroughly dissed the face of the founding
father and landed with its homage to the state facing skyward.  Maid Harlos
did gleefully claim the mantle of authority granted to her by the cult of
the omnipotent state, and vanquished Sir Starr to the lowly position of
committee alternate.
