I'm reminded of a few years back, when some hundred-plus citizens came
together in the community center to discuss the formation of another local
poltical party, a Green Party. There was an energy there that I hadn't
experienced since the Moscow "aerial spraying" meetings of many years before.
Alas, the vision of those good-intentioned people (Greens) was soon blurred
and eventually blinded by disparate goals, strategies and theories.
Too bad.
