 Dear John,

My experience with the last two forums did not find any fault 
with the seven day format.  It allowed enough time to become 
acquainted with the other contributors to the forum.  Other 
forums range from a few hours, once per week, to as long as 
a month.  But, off hand, I can think of no objection to a three 
day forum, so why not give it a try.

With regard to "making the forums even more effective," 
I do have a firm opinion, which returns to mind every time I 
have the opportunity to join a new list or forum.  I may not 
express it well, but I would like to see the politically correct 
subject matter of each new forum include both a "maim topic" 
for each forum plus a perennial topic focused on the century 
old systemic defect of omission in US public policy.  A defect 
which never existed in US private (corporate) policy.  Is it 
any wonder that Corporations Rule the World?

Is there anybody with an IQ above seventy who can ignore 
the 1890s shift: from a 1.3%/year increase in the value of 
a US dollar earned, to, a 2.3%/year decline in the value of 
a US dollar earned?

Obviously, nearly everybody with an IQ above seventy on 
the Internet, in the Media, and in the government believes that 
the continuing decline is politically correct, and, that  anyone 
who dissents is the skunk at their lawn party.  Clearly, a self- 
fulfilling prophesy that has operated as TWP on all empires 
since B.C. 975.

Kind regards,

Wes Burt

                 TOP and TWP are cognoscible on
                Dr. W. Curtiss Priest's web site at:
       <http://www.epie.org/cyber-soc/default.htm>
             Where do you stand on the continuum 
        between TOP and TWP (The Wrong Policy)?
