Wellcome Mark! What ever you read....remember there is a sender.... with a purpoose.... Remember that it lies in the interest of many intellectuals, corporations and their politicians to ridicule peoples ability and to promote their own professors that come to their own conclusion. If you, with eyes wide open, watch the leadership ability to make sound decisions today in many places you may come to the conclusion that local people with political interest will make better decisions for people at large and that therefore a direct democracy with ability to delegate within will be exactly what will promote world peace and spending of money that will be in the peoples interest and NOT the corporations (the military industrial complex). Keep reading with a critical mind! My agenda is world peace through direct democracy, reduction of population and ecological way of life to save us and our planet as long as we can. /Martin <div>2008/3/29, Michael Allan <<a href="mailto:mike@zelea.com">mike@zelea.com</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Welcome Mark, Your work sounds interesting. I hope Votorola fits in, and you can share your ideas, suggestions. (Thanks for recommending the Olson book, BTW. My library has a copy, I'll check it out.) -- Mike
