What gaps? You mean like little pub hall meetings and stuff?

What? Everything is subjective? 'Some people want autonomy and some don't' -- what point are you making? The majority of people never really consider what's true and what's not, and consequently they are led off cliffs in great herds by people who pretend to espouse the truth; which is their truth. Is that freedom?
