<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If only it were that simple. Doing social change
work and getting social change done are two very different realities. Social
change comes out of a movement toward a different future which shows up from a
multitude of independent faces from the human community. Holding elected
representives accountable is certainly one aspect of that but its "tail is not
large enough to wag the dog." Also, social change is more than just change but
it is change that cannot be reversed as soon as people's interest moves on to
something else. This is the fallacy of the "liberal" form of doing.</FONT></DIV>
