[Peace-discuss] Electioneering / if not "here" then where?

[Karen Medina]

Note that it was low middle management. Upper management wasn't
present. The co-op, from time to time, forgets to train people on
everything -- or assumes because of their education and connections
that they know better.

Frankly, I was completely amazed that this particular person did not
know. Plus he may have had pressure from somewhere (like a customer
complaint) that he wasn't thinking correctly.
