FW: Do You Really Have a Government?

Hi All,

I know lots of you are on the Downsize DC list; however, I could not resist forwarding their today's newsletter after I read the introductory quote. This is the dichotomy I have tried to express on this Discussion list for the past 10 years. It would appear to me that some of us, although we understand Ben Franklin's "If you can keep it" concern, are willing to work towards a return to "government" -- which I personally call civil collaborative society. It would also appear to me that some of us do not think that possible, and seem to work towards what I personally view as an even more impossible scenario, some kind of anarchistic do-your-own thing.

Anyway, I will continue to work on the former, especially within the LPSF because I do not believe the latter is the purview of a political party.

Just a thought.

Marcy
