At the risk of starting another thread, I have been reading the posts, but this
whole new thing of reading a post, responding, then going and downloading my
email, pulling up the emailed link for the posting, clicking on the button to
post the response, and then coming back to Lugnet to figure out just where you
were in the whole thread thing, is really getting old fast. I did originally
respond to the first post but it didn't go through. Maybe its still stuck in
my email, I have no idea.

And I disagree. I do get the message and I may or may not agree with some or
all of it, and my "lack" of participation in the LP has nothing to do with
whether or not I agree with the message or think that its "convincing or
viable". I'm not involved in any party at all. I know some people say that
its every citizens duty to be involved in their government but many of us
aren't, though I do vote. And unless Bruce is a woman or a minority, just how
can he presume to know how "we" feel about it?
Just a thought.
