Your point is well taken, and I'll reiterate that I am a lazy freeloader
when it comes such activity. Your energy w/r/t same is laudable, and I'm
glad you have not gotten insulted by my harping on some of the unavoidable
negatives of *the will to organize,* while simultaneously shirking
responsibility- other than criticizing- for providing alternative
structures. Damn the day job.

V. is fine by me. Beggars can't be choosers. I suppose there is no
structural way to avoid having the discussion monopolized by those who
require the spur of personal emnity in order to unburden themselves. I'd be
deluding myself to think otherwise. There never was a Peaceable Kingdom.

But didn't it used to be alot more enjoyable, or am I just a hopeless
romantic?
