Me? I'm flattered. I got laid off from my job as a machnist Friday and was
lucky enough to find employment at a bicycle shop (Lincoln Guide Service,
Lincoln, MA, stop on by) . I do what I can when I can, and not always
within the system. I have yet to figure out how to live without a job.

Precisely. Framing the question is as important, if not moreso, than the
answers derived from a plebiscite (sp?) that exists to prevent true
democracy by restricting the range of apparent choices.

Dr. Ziolkowski, there are some Americans who spend very little of their time
in front of a computer. Who, through their interactions with their fellow
workers try to plant questions in the heads of truckdrivers, laborers, and
office drones, the answers to which show the hypocracy of modern American
(so-called) democracy. Unfortunately, they are all too few right now.
We're working on it.
Actually, most American workers understand how hypocritical the system is.
They just don't know what to do and are sitting ducks for the extreme right.
