The easiest way to do this would be to just set the machines up to
bridge between the two networks.  More elegantly, route between the
two wireless nodes and have them as the gateways for the client
machines behind them.

However note that there is _NO_ security in any of this!  You _MUST_
set up some form of encryption and authentication between these two!
Do not rely on the Wired Equivelant Privacy (WEP) on the wireless
cards.  It is incredibly insecure and can (and does) be broken in a
few minutes.

No, Democracy is not identical with majority rule. Democracy
is a State which recognizes the subjection of the minority
to the majority, that is, an organization for the systematic
use of force by one class against the other, by one part of
the population against another.
