Conference Call for July 16, 2006.

Today’s Downsizer-Dispatch… :::On today’s Downsize DC Conference Call, a call-in radio show sponsored by DownsizeDC.org, Gun Owners of America, and the Marijuana Policy Project, I’m going to pick up where I left off last week. Or should I say, I’m going to skip ahead?

An mp3 of my radio show on “the failure of political parties” is attached to this post. ::::::The show set a record with six callers. I also had five emails before or during the show and couldn’t get to any of them. Several more messages have come since. Several agreed with me, but had specific modifications. Only one seemed tense or upset with me. I was reluctant, as you’ll be able to tell by listening to my voice, because I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. I understand the attraction of partisanship, and I think most of the partisans I know are good people, who believe they’re doing the right thing. ::::::I didn’t have time to fully elaborate my position. We have roughly 42 minutes on air each week. After callers, there just wasn’t time to expand on several points. However, I’m not interested in returning to the issue for a second episode at this time, so I’ll share more of the points I wanted to make below.
