Virtually all peoples of all nations have always been dominated by individuals or cliques which obtained power and wealth because they were obsessed with obtaining power and wealth. This power actually is the aggregation of the freedom they usurped from each member of the society. This wealth actually is the sum of the earnings they stole from each member of the society. The people of The United States have always been the subjects of an oligarchy (a government controlled by a few people). If they were per- mitted a genuine democracy, the malignant cancer that afflicts our society would fade in the wake of a sweeping transformation bringing real hope and exhilarating possibilities for our people and for the peoples of the world. I am appealing to those who are already convinced that our Earth and and it's populations are in grave trouble --- to those who are already 1 convinced that a "participative democracy" would replace the corrupt politicians' greed with the people's interests in conducting the affairs of a nation belonging to it's people; the affairs of a world belonging to everyone.

Please offer suggestions about how to initiate an experi- mental "participative democracy" on the Net. John DiNardo 1 Daniel LaLiberte, U. of Illinois, Net posting #3453, April 23, 1984.
