 As I read your entire post (the above is only your concluding
paragraph), I'm left with the impression that you are saying that
everything will take care of itself naturally. My crystal ball is
on strike this week, so I don't know if your prediction will come
out or not. At any rate, as long as others do not try to structure
those they do not agree with, then that is fine. If the change to
"side lists" grows out of the present discontent (which I think is
more likely), then we all need to take responsibility, not just
those who annoy the status quo. I hope you prediction is right--it
sounds more pleasant.
