Thanks Mike, I think this is a reasonalble alternative. I understand your 
frustration. I, like many, was taught by Tyler before GUE and have joined GUE 
as soon as the organization was formed, at the regular level. I did this 
because of my respect for Tyler, JJ and all others. I wish I could easily 
affect a change in the CDS, other than voting, but am located out of state at 
school. I think the answer is democracy, ultimately, the vote. This is a 
first step in a change for the better I hope. A new generation of divers is 
coming up with a better way. Evolution works with organizations as well as 
biology. I remember when some of the WKPP people ran for office. GUE is an 
high level teaching organization and as such ahs the advantage in being small 
and lean. But if we destroy the NACD or CDS. Will GUE fill the gap; and more 
importantly, if it grows will it be possible to avoid the pitfalls, inherent 
in a larger organization? I hope so. I have faith in GUE. I think we all 
should join GUE and then change, toghether, the other organizations for the 
better. They once were good and served a needed purpose. Remeber the 60's? 
Thanks for listening to a longer post than I like. My two cents anyway.
