"Why should the DOE be willing to respect the views of an opposition that

What is a "vulnerable" party?  Is the party deciding for himself that he is

vulnerable?  Does he have any basis in fact for this decision? What is his

basis?  Is it grounded in science or in political philosophy?"  



The answer is simple:  one person, one vote.  Until someone comes up with a

better alternative than democracy, the village idiot's vote counts the same

as the Nobel Laureate.  Sorry, that's just reality.
