While I appreciate your...uh...appreciation, let me remind you that part of
my "pronouncements" are that the current political and social system is
sick. Many people around here seem to agree with this assessment. What I
advocate is a comparatively simple change in the rules that could have the
effect of vastly changing the way things are done. Whether these changes
are in "the best interests of the inhabitants of this nation" is still an
open question, and many people have agreed with me on this matter.
