Replying to LO20604 --

Roy,

If you want to be academic about it, I suggest that you spend some time
looking at the conflicts and dilemmas involved in the principles outlined,
such as limits of freedom on a social context, relation between equal
rights to particpation against competence, committment, and the practical
constraints of the dynamics of decisionmaking, relations between joint
common activity and individual initiative etc etc.

I really think that the idealistic purism of your initial tenets are one
of your main problems.

Yours

Gray Southon
