Re: For administration purposes only ? (Mirek)

[Antonio Rossin <rossin(at)tin.it>]

I agree with the G.M. below, according with the principle
that a bad discussant is always better than no discussant,
and that discussion is the core point of democracy at any
level.

I would add, the so-called "shadow parliament" has to
become the rule of any civil communication relationship,
from the family paragon up to the highest levels of DD,
encompassing the administrative level.  Conversely, which
guarantee could "We-the People" have?

Therefore, I also agree with John Baker's comment:

"How do you know that there is not already a 'shadow
parliament' already in place?"

Indeed, let's keep on with it in place -- politely, as John does.
