Sure, 'democracies should be onboard' with this stuff, that's actually my point michael, you're robbing foundation from my platform, no fair -g- .... not sure i'd add 'all' to it though, that would be nice but fact is in any democratic attempt you are going to get hold-outs, can't please em all ... what you need for legitimacy is a majority, on very serious issues you need a great majority ... eh .... and perhaps leaning to a per-capita basis too, more than one-nation one-vote So how do you get a majority onside, this is the thing .... it would help greatly to have a structure in place for this purpose, to keep contact with each other on an ongoing basis, so stuff doesn't get cooked up in one national capital and then sprung by surprise on the rest .... and just the action of talking to each other, forming better habits in this regard is useful in itself, is what i'm saying Nothing leftist, rightist, paleocon, whatever, about this ... we are human and forced to deal with human nature, we better get good at it, with all these -isms and WMDs around Palestine - only the zionist side of the issue is represented here, rest of posters are third party innocent bystander category who mostly just ask that these combatants not be permitted to blow up the world ... everything's been said anyway, so what's the point, until there come partisan shots that look like they warrant a bit of balance .. got to go, later ... points of etiquette duly noted, btw, yours and others, taken under due consideration ... a metaphor a day could keep the dictator away though maybe, if it's a ripe one .... cheers
