When No Really Means Yes

How many times have we heard “no means no”? (If you were in a fraternity, probably a million, but I digress.) The point is, I just overheard one colleague ask another whether voting “no” on Nov. 6 means she’s pro- or anti-tollway in the Trinity River corridor, and I realize we still have a problem. The People Newspapers editorial board made sense of it here, and in Oak Cliff People Chuck Cox made it pretty clear that “no” means yes for the tollway, and, conversely, “yes” means no. And we all know how the Observer’s Jim Schutze feels. I’m just worried that a lot of people are still confused, and it seems pretty obvious that confused people don’t vote.
