these so-called "ignore" people are actually reading everything? I suspect you are right. It's easy enough to breeze by people you don't want to read by using the Next 10 Messages feature. By saying "you are on ignore" they're really saying "na na na na na" "The ignore people" - LOL!

For the local Solon-expert on consensus-mechanisms, democracy, constitution in Afghanistan video.c-span.org:8080/ramgen/archive/ter/ter081503_radiofree.rm RFE/RL Analyst Amin Tarzi on New Afghan Constitution Regional Analyst Amin Tarzi, of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, speaks on "Afghanistan's New Constitution: Towards Consolidation or Fragmentation?" 8/15/2003: WASHINGTON, DC: 1 hr. 20 min. --- Amin Tarzi seems fairly realistic, knowledgable, but why does he - complain that the proposal(s) for a constitution is not made public - claim that it is a really difficult issue - wants Afghanistan to concentrate on the upcomong elections, not on the constitution, thinks it should be delayed - claims that "true democracy" is nothing he wants, those-them "conservatives" would win - quotes the earlier constitutions, but stops short of any actual personal thoughts Ilmarinen PS Yo know-nuttings, please do not bother, clearly too difficult PPS, what about those examples of consensus-mechanisms in USA, not that anyone, even in USA, dreams of a two-party system anywhere but in USA.
