No offense taken. We see the world and the functioning of
institutions differently. I can live with that. I do not believe
my descriptions are idealistic, I believe I am describing what I see
and the environment I work within. What I think is not only
normative, it is descriptive. As with representative democracy, in
the places in which some model exists, participatory democracy is
not a perfected thing. I agree is is something we strive to make
better, and in the trenches of these institutions we keep striving
to improve it.<br>

I do find it ironic that during a period when we are striving to
find a way to allow the US government to finally give up its
solitary position guarding the stability of the Internet, we are
still being accused of supporting their continued position.<br>
