and that's heavily fine folks who don't vote. But that wouldnever get off
the ground in the USA. But the other way would. You give me the money to get
a public forum and I will get them to vote by showing them exactly why it is
in their best interest to do so, and showing them very clearly what will
happen to them if they DON'T! The big problem is neither party wants to do
that because they don't want the other party's adherents to vote. The idea
seems to be how many voters can we keep away? That dooms Democracy! You know
we spend a lot of time worrying about what will happen when theosophy goes
down the tubes...but what will happen when Democracy goes down the tubes?
