<futility of your cause> Pain is the basic source of humor <If you enjoy posting over and over about the two party thing> < think the time is not right> The time would have been some 200 years ago, Jefferson returning from France, and within that scale of time, I'm just having some happy times within the time of internet. However, even those jesterday buddies to the north are having some fun too. citizensassembly.bc.ca <But I hope you can understand why I don't always respond> Yes, there are these basic Orwellian issues of the the basic dilemmas as well as keeping it even cleaner than Michael Moore and that Lani (most-instant-witch-hunt-ever) with even the three-seat-district suggestion. However, globally the pressure is growing, not very fun but a true pain. But really "however", it is a real (funny) pain to notice how not even the Canadians can figure out how to debate "it". <The people at the two extremes of the debate in this country want one party (theirs), rather than wanting more parties. It's sad; it's very limiting; and it's the way things are> On a third "however", it is still fun looking in from the outside (or at least very surreal) That is, the fourth "however", will be interesting to see how Canada reacts, some kind of referendum in 2005?? They must have some inside information on the censored debate in England?? Ilmarinen PS That is why Michael Moore is both painful and humorous, and why I actually would like to live some 50-150 additional years, although that is not very important.

<X> to put "it" very short, in a canadian way: It is already interesting how the British Columbians are, or already have, stumbled into "realities" in their attempts at their future. This weekend (first ever on Internet??) they are trying to figure out what those realities really mean, after having met their fellow citizens in their regions. This next week, that might be published on the internet, first time in history. ====== citizensassembly.bc.ca OVERVIEW OF HEARINGS A total of 387 people made oral presentations at the Assembly's 50 public hearings across B.C. in May and June, and many more members of the public made informal presentations, offered recommendations and comments, and asked questions at the sessions. More than 2,700 members of the public attended hearings — including 50 in Smithers on the same night as the final game of the Stanley Cup series. For an overview of what Assembly members heard at the hearings, please click here. ===== Another "however", you made some very "realistic" remarks on "population sizes" somewhere, many say the thresholds go from maybe 10-20 millions to 50-100 millions to many more voters. That is why EU does not try to become another USA!!
