Dear All,

Thank you for introducing me to the meaning of real democracy last
night, it was entirely rewarding. My parting questions still stand:

"Is democracy without justice worth having ? Are democracy and justice
mutually inclusive activities? Must democracy come before justice ?
What would the people rather have, democracy or justice? Both are
ideal but what is the reality ?". Am I being too deep here???

The term "community" fascinated me too. Is the following text the
language you might have been looking for when describing the term
community ?

"A primitive tribe may not produce much wealth, but all members are
capable of an independent life. Each shares all the knowledge
possessed by the tribe. They know the habits of animals, birds, and
fishes. They can make their own shelter, clothing, and weapons. In
short, they are all capable of supplying their own wants. The
independence of all of the members makes them free contracting parties
in their relations with the community."

If these words inspire you the full chapter and entire book can be found here:

Isn't it true that we have all belonged to a community possessing
ultimate democracy and justice? Our Family. This community does not
have to create a debt risk to function. It works on trust using pure
credit. No constitution is required. Is greater trust therefore the
key to the re-establishment of a just and functioning democratic
society ?

Looking forward to meeting again soon.

Brgds
Robin.
