Yo, Bros & Sis. The heart & power of democracy is discussion, the  decisions follow from that - as  Socrates knew. The starting point of this particular chat is my e-book 'The Aristocratic Mafia'. It is long, not particularly well written, but well-intentioned. Where the discussin' will go is beyond the author's control. He hopes you will read his stuff & that it will concentrate your minds. The human race is shaping up for extinction. Saving us is too big a job for anything less than the efforts of us all. Democracy is not a luxury extra, it is a life-force, a natural way of existing, a beacon that leads past the rocks. It is the transcendental conch that calls us all to our duty. Sleepers will not hear. Will you?
