Perhaps, the next time you won't be so combative. Be more careful of the challenges you issue and what you wish for.

You prefer to ignore the facts and the history of the AMA. Horrace and I have both told you the facts. If you ignore history, your doomed to the same mistakes again. If Horrace and I agree on anything, you can fairly well be assured that there is a reason.

Some things can be changed, but, you choose to try to defend a position that has no merit.

The AMA is not a democratic organization and was never designed to be. The single right that a member has is to vote. About 15% of the membership votes. How many of those are informed votes? There is no mechanism to change anything... except the members of the EC... by voting. That's it.

Your attitude is much like the 9th grader running for class president that promises Coke in the drinking fountains if elected.

If you don't want a fight and you don't want input, do not issue challenges.
