Where, then, does one apply for membership to that regional family- and
to which authority does one appeal, if some declare the bellybutton
doesn't come with attached credentials? If we don't sign anything- how
can we be banned for lack of adoption papers?

Then you must be in charge?? Does that mean that You will now sign the

Did a full consensus declare that- including those you have deemed below

And George Bush and Jr. could call a Texas Rainbow Gathering? Allowing
only say... contributors to the Repub. Natl. Party to their private
little black-tie-RFOLL gathering? Wow! Really!? That's the sort of
thing that would make me turn in my card- if we were card carrying.

Oh Please! And we can also say exclusive inclusion don't cut the cole

Please don't throw me out of the family,
even if you want to exclude me from your private party! I'd promise to
