To insist upon issues of governmental legitimacy, to reserve the right 
(within procedures and accepted practice) to define the terms of the 
terms of engagement, to ensure that 'our' interests are represented, 
work to ensure compliance to countermajoritarian principles of democracy 
(avoiding the tyranny of the majority so to speak) and not to have 
single rooters have the monopoly of definition of issues (in postie 
terms, voice and representation) while ensuring values convergence with 
like-minded allies. But you of all people don't need a gameplan for 
political economy issues :)

Practically it has ranged from eye for an eye through to robust reasoned 
discourse. With a healthy serving of everything in between. And meeting 
some wonderful people on this list.

Bon.
