>>>Nope; I think we've heard enough!

I always find it fascinating when someone is so arrogant as to speak on behalf of everyone else. It ain't over till it's over.

>>>Perhaps you should have run for office when you were a club member in good standing

When did my standing change? You know something I don't?

Being in office means that I have to have a strong desire to serve those I represent. I have no such desire. BTW, this is the ONLY organization in which I have ever belonged where that were the case.

>>>Democracy is a terrible thing ... eh, NM-1?

Contrary to what some of you old timers think, the exercise of free democracy is more than casting a vote. It also entails such things as the right to speak your mind without fear of reprisal, the right to question elected officials without being labeled a subversive, and the right to question current policy without being labeled an anarchist.

Before you attempt to sheild yourself behind a cloak of "democracy", you first have to actually embrace it.
