=======================================
Ross,
 
RC> You dont get it...
 
I understood it perfectly, you do make sense.
 
But does it make sense that when your membershipbase represents 8% of the
total, that you want to be counted as 20%?
 
It is even more dramatic when looking at Z5, they have 0.17% of the nodelist,
yet still should be given 20% of the actual voting.
 
The same holds true for zone-3 with 0.98% and zone-4 with 0.57%.
 
Quickly added-up that means that zones-3, -4 and -5 with 1,72% of the total
mass can outvote combined Z1 and Z2 with 98.28% of the total mass.
 
RC> What would be the point of any voting under that schema?
 
Really thoroughly debating the issues and reaching consensus decisions rather
than 'winner takes all'.
 
That is how real-life politics are played here. Debate and consensus and the
opinion of the minority is not necessarily discarded out of hand as is the case
in a winner-takes-all system.
 
The Polder-model is lovely.
 
RC> So why dont you have better scout participation over there in the real
RC> free world?
 
I think they're doing pretty good here. Our troop has had to refuse new members
as they were getting over their maximum capacity.
 
The difference however is professionalism and open spaces.
 
RC>WD> Just so you realize ... that was in the French, Swiss and Italian
RC>WD> Alps. You should go there one day ... pretty country Switzerland.
 
RC> I know, been told by friends who touristed there..
 
Have they also spoken about how expensive Switzerland is?
