To Rog
I accept and support your opinion, but I can not see any reason for using MoQ to
support your view. I would think that we would end up supporting many political
systems by MoQ.
And I can not say that your first post was giving any acceptance and support for any
other political system than your favorite, so maybe you are asking for more than you
are willing to give yourself?
