<P>Eric and all,</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>&nbsp; Nicely articulated and percisely correct IMO and in the opinion 
historically of many international</P>
<P>bodies such as the UN for instance.&nbsp; Additionally I fully agree with 
Andy's bluntly but accurately</P>
<P>stated historical refrence and conclusion, but of course and saddened by 
it.<BR><BR><BR></P>

<DIV>Andy,</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Thomas Narten is a very pleasant non confrontational passive 
<SPAN>aggressivist</SPAN>.&nbsp; <A 
href="http://www.cs.duke.edu/~narten/";>http://www.cs.duke.edu/~narten/</A>&nbsp;
 He will label people on this list and&nbsp;classify people on this list but he 
uses the concept of "herding cats" to describe what he does.&nbsp; Clearly he 
does not have the temperament for lively social interaction and is quite 
uncomfortable when others engage in it. He believes social contributions are 
measured in numbers.</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>Do not be offended by his belittling of human rights or voting rights or 
representation issues because these are not areas he thinks should be discussed 
in public unless in his class where he chooses participants. The concept that 
someone should prove their &nbsp;right to be included in governance is not 
meant as an insult to those asking for rights. We are mere cats that need to be 
herded into conformity.(Yes I know this is a concept most closely associated 
with Apartheid)*</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>*I do not mean this in a terrible nasty insidious manner. I only refer to 
it along the lines of gerrymandering for representation control as Narten 
suggests. <A
