In lieu of communicating over a pint,let me ponder electronically-If totalitarianism is the enemy of individual freedom,it seems to me the current development of reducing dialogue to parallel monologues greatly aids and abets the enemy.

So, I reach out to any individualist that I come across to attempt to establish sets of dialogues,in the effort to promote counter measures to the control junkies. Having made my motive clear,perhaps it will incite action toward that end. Some good sources that I have found are: Strike The Root,Global Guerrillas,and Tom Dispatch.

The Irish voters seem to have polarized into Left and Right camps which is a good thing in the long run. Hopefully the ghosts of the civil war are finally being laid to rest.

In my opinion his is a Pyhrric victory for the yes camp.

Hope the vote goes your way, but as our election over here showed, hard times these days usually favor the mainstream center-"left" and their corporate controllers. (Word verification: suffedhe: Portuguese for economic malaise?)

Unless he's making a strategic withdrawl, I would say you are on point to not trust a yes man--never, is so absolute! Inherent distrust of government is the quality that would cause me offer you a pint,were I anywhere in reasonable proximity! I promise, no polemics with names;Doc-you still rock!
