(Curly was a notorious ward-healer who became mayor of Boston in the 1930's I believe, they still talk about those "good ole days" when corruption went to the -right- people.) Well, at least it scans... I would be interested in attending a meeting in DC (or wherever) to discuss such issues. Assembling an invitees list would be interesting although for starters it might just need "activists", others can be contacted once several of us figure out how to start saying the same things. I believe this upcoming election might make this an opportune time to start, a new administration might be more receptive to new-sounding programs such as computer networking. It would be hard to imagine any broad-based objection to it (other than those of a particularly privatizing bent, which should be addressed.) -B
