lol... I'm not trying to pick on Barry... I sincerely respect ANYONE who's willing to stand by a position (and he's done that)... but that doesn't mean we can't debate the topic ad-nauseum! Besides, I'd personally LOVE it if someone could put forward an argument for a non-western approach to organizing ourselves that I could believe in... cause I'm not sure the route we're taking can work long-term. In fact I believe it CAN'T, in areas like the environment (your balliwick as I recall TL) it's FAR too focused on short term profits at the expense of conservation and sustainability.
