The adverb "recently" connected with the verbs "being advocated". I don't doubt it's older: variations among historic tribes are also often reported. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Same as other dictatorships and democracies. Unfortunately, if we look at history, we're doomed whatever we do. ;-) Might as well make the intervening time what we want. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
