We have being called a "Socialist Democracy" by the thinkers for some time, though like everywhere else in the "west" we continue to become Americanised. What ever actually happens does not change the clear need; *to operate under the classic socialist model for a time, "from each as to their capacity, to each according to their need" * I am boyed by the facts that Australia has the largest number of not for profit organisation and a volunteer workforces in the world. If that can help as they did during our fires we will mitigate the damage quite a bit. Regards Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
