<html><div>Blaming politicians, lobbyists and Special Interest Groups for
the insanity </div>
<div>that seems to have overwhelmed us is comforting, but not very
useful. They </div>
<div>are only doing their jobs. We, on the other hand, have seemingly
forgotten </div>
<div>our job -- which is to engage in Civil Conversation as the essential
first </div>
<div>step in the political (small "p") process. So how about
Opening Space for </div>
<div>250 million people? A little grandiose perhaps, but quite do-able, I
think. </div>
<div>If I have your attention, I invite you to go to my website for the
details. </div>

<br>
<div>And for all the non-US folks on this list -- I appologize, but if you think it is a good idea, you could do it in your own country.</div>
