(np) big O, say it isn't so...

[Bled Welder]

I agree with you, absolutely. "Democracy Now" is a stupid name, always felt thatway.  Whats fair and balanced about anything? Its a sad democratic minded notion. I do think that Goodman truly believes in democracy in theory. Unlike many of her guests, who will never go further in so admitting it than to backwardsly suggest we dont currently live in a democracy.  Good, so weve got That first step already done for us!
