​I suppose I may have been a little hasty. Very well. I guess I'll adopt a
"wait and see" approach. I've little doubt now any committee we select now
from the community would apply this largely fairly. I'm just worried about
more radical, totalitarian elements attempting to infiltrate the community,
and from there, the committee. *That's* how I see that language possibly
being abused in the future. (And in case it isn't clear, let me just state
for the record, I do not think any of you are totalitarian.)
