"Magel responded he had run his letter by city attorney Burt Saunders before sending it, to ensure he did no wrong, and Saunders confirmed Magel was within his rights, as long as he did not use city property for campaign purposes."

This is a classic Magellism. What is Magellism?

Magellism (noun): derived from Latin Machiavelli

(a) rebuttal technique, by use of seeking an answer to a question not posed. [seek response from legal council to his right to free speech as a means to avert citizen questions as to the context of his message, not his right to say it]

(b) misinform [as to provide information that is obsolete and does not represent the entity to be disparaged]

(c) the act of targeted coalition building based on informing the public at large to the perils of misinformation, while simultaneously misinforming the targeted coalition to to the disadvantage of the public at large, reference bullet voting.

(d) _____________________ [additional definitions to be reviewed, see Marcopedia below]

For Wikipedia proponents, may I suggest Marcopedia where folks simply add to the wealth of knowledge accumulated from personal experiences with Mr. Magel.

Having fun at last! The games we play!

Note: All entries will be reviewed by Mr. Arceri for accuracy and adherence to the tenets of Magellism.

[Yes another committee which can be disbanded by council when and if it feels fit that it is not run in the best interest of city administration or a coalition yet to be formed.]
