[Peace-discuss] persistence of data

[C. G. Estabrook]

How to keep it up? The party system is designed to achieve the goals of a tiny

follow precisely the same policies if elected. They differed only in 'personality.'

That's not democracy, of course, but the demand for it is growing.

driven from office like Mubarak (and Lyndon Johnson)?

There are plans, to delight the heart of an FBI agent:
