Not even that. They are getting what their elected representative decides HE wants after he is elected. Sometimes (rarely) that is the same as he wanted before he was elected. The chances that what he votes for is what the people who elected him really want, is just too far out to be believable. And if it ever did occur, his vote would be swamped by the majority of "elected representatives" who vote according to the dictates of what comes out of the party rooms. > The remaining 80% are in-fact being dictated to.

I asked if there was some way of making them reload automagically each time they were opened. I received a reply saying that "reload" was a standard command in the format, but how do I make this work in the command "file://inbox.dgi" for example? Obviously reload must be last part of the command, as I wouldn't want the previous screen reloaded. So does the line become "file://inbox.dgi reload" or what?

Democracy -- government by the people -- can not possibly work except in very small communities. The reason is simple: it is impossible to get ALL the people together to discuss and agree on ALL matters that need deciding. The best we can do is a REPRESENTATIVE democracy, where groups of people select one of their number to represent them in the government. This is the most common form of government these days and in theory it is an excellent system. Unfortunately it falls down when the "representatives" form parties, with their policies all too often devised to suit those who want power, or those who donate the most money to the party. The truth is that there is no one system of government that IN ITSELF is better or worse than any other system. It all depends on how these different systems are administered. The very best system of government is a benevolent dictatorship; the very worst is a malevolent one. > We have only to look at places in the world that have no functioning > government to see that chaos, lawlessness, and gang warfare in the > streets is what happens now when government is abolished altogether.

Lovely thoughts. Has such a government ever existed? Could it ever exist without being taken over by the power-mongers?

You DID know, you just forgot. I rmember you mentioning this file to me when I was having all the FTP trouble a while back. But unfortunately it doesn't show anything related to the messages that flash on the bottom of the screen.

Something seemed to be saved somewhere. I keep getting the out-dated versions. For example, I read the first 10 messages of (say) 25, then trash them or move them to other folders. When I come back to the index it still shows 25 messages, and all those I've moved out as still being there. But when I click on any of them to open them, I get the error message. I don't see the true contents of the inbox until I press "R". So is there any solution?

Maybe it is from this story that we have the popular expression about the "other side of the coin". Speaking of coins, I want to tell you guys about a story I heard about "The Enchanted Money". The story was told to me by several local folks when I was vacationing in Monterrey, Mexico, ca. 1972. They say that they know the story is true because they have been to the place of the enchanted money so that they could see it for themselves. They told me that if I don't believe the story they would gladly lead me to the place of the enchanted money so that I too might see the enchanted money myself. It would be a very long rugged hike to the place of the enchanted money. They would charge me only a very nominal and reasonable fee for their services as guides. This is how the story goes: In the very early 19th century there lived in the region around Monterrey a very famous robber. The story tellers told me what the name of this famous robber was, but I have long since forgotten it. I just remember that it was a very glamorous-sounding swash-buckling name. I have never forgotten the rest of the story. The robber was a highway man who accosted only very rich people to liberate them from their money at the point of his sword. He had an awesome reputation for being very swift and highly refined in the art of using the sword. He always told his robbery victims that after he retires from his career as a highway man he would distribute to the poor all of the money he had robbed. After several years of his having committed many highly successful highway robberies to liberate hundreds of rich people from their money, his activities suddenly ceased and he was not heard from since. Around the turn of the 20th century some children discovered a cave somewhere in a mountain near Monterrey known as El Cerro de la Silla. They went inside the cave. Inside the cave the children found a human skeleton and a sword and dozens of huge piles of solid gold and silver coins. Upon making the discovery, all of the children reminded each other of the fabulous story that their parents had told them about the famous 19th century highway man who robbed the rich and who always said that the money would be distributed to the poor. The children of course figured that the cave must have been the famous robber's secret hideout and that the human remains were those of the famous robber. The money was the money that he had robbed and had intended to distribute to the poor. The children then went to the local priest to tell him of their find. They led the priest to the find and they asked the priest what should be done with the money. The priest replied that absolutely nothing should be done with the money because the money is enchanted. The priest declined to comment on what might happen to people who handle enchanted money. It seems that nobody wants conduct any tests to find out what might happen to a person who handles enchanted money. All of the enchanted money remains to this very day in the place where it was found. The entrance to the cave where it was found is never guarded. Anybody inquiring about where the enchanted money is can easily find people who will lead him to the spot for only a very nominal and reasonable fee for guide service. Thousands of people have visited the place of the enchanted money. Nobody has ever questioned the fact that the money is enchanted because it is free for the taking and nobody has ever taken any of it. The Enchanted Money is accessible to anyone who can endure taking a very rugged hike. Did I take the story tellers up their offer to take me on a very rugged hike? No, but I thanked them very much for the story and I wished them very good luck at finding somebody who would want to go with them on a very rugged hike.

In my opinion, he did not win the electoral vote either - he stole it. There were numerous irregularities in the Florida election, a state controlled by his brother, including the manpulation and purging of voter lists. One might therefore, just for sake of this discussion, regard him as a dictator. As to whether he is a beneficent dictator, the only entity to which he has been truly beneficent is the oil industry, an industry with which he, his family, and the key members of his administration (Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice, etc.) are all closely associated. "...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country." - Hermann Goering Binky __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
