As of now, their board comes from a very narrow social strata which is not at all democratic.<BR/>Will you sign my petition when I get it going?<BR/>p.s. Something can be both good and bad at the same time. It's not an either-or situation. The world is complex, and contradictions abound. I believe PEN can be reformed, to become a better organization.<BR/>Who could oppose that?K.I.N.G.

What does he mean? PEN is good, PEN propagates good values, PEN hypocritically doesn't honor or live up to these values. Democracy and freedom are the values identified, I wonder personally how PEN's structure is "undemocratic." King's been making all the noise about it, does someone have a copy of the organization's charter and by-laws demonstrating that the game is rigged against "undergrounders"? I'd be curious to know if the "rigging" extends beyond the perfectly reasonable stipulation that members have published a book.cshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05806652527848272818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983462.post-82300043515339323712008-06-21T15:33:00.000-07:002008-06-21T15:33:00.000-07:00The blowing of smoke is your own, King, dodging specific questions about your cohorts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
