[<pbunch@cox.net>]

After seeing how the descent into near chaos actually worked here in Colombia 
I would tend to agree. IMHO we need to be working together to, at a bare

that life is going to be very different and start looking for solutions that 
will provide the maximum possible amount of stability and institutions that 
can bounce back from insults rapidly and strongly.
