Hi Vijayaraghavan Padmanabhan,

Maybe your question has not been put clear enough.
Why should I agree or disagree with Bruce or anybody else?
IMO, Bruce is free to expose his POV, like every one else.
Maybe some one is in need of that - according with ones' own
local necessities, who knows?  Be myself in agreement or not,
it does not matter, as far as everyone is free to make proposals
and decide policies by 50+1 percent of the voting inhabitants in
one's own same territory -- and that is Democracy.

Of course, Bruce does not grasp what I'm saying when I suggest
that WDDM is not the worldwide territory of Democracy, but
only that of a small list of  DD lovers and activists.  Therefore any
decision being voted by, say, eve4n the 100 percent of WDDM
list inhabitants cannot be binding onto Democracy Worldwide, thus
it looks IMO rather useless and a vaste of time.

Btw, I wonder whether any poll or votation in this list did even
produce any valuable results towards spreading Democracy .
It would be a mere top-down exercise, indeed, there where any
decision, to be consistent with Democracy, should come from the
territory grassroots bottom-up. Then, let our Reps and/or activists
in charge to decide how to implement that policy at the best.


Regards,

antonio
