Apologies for the overposting, but the above is pure, rancid horseshit. I've known Doug for years, and have on occasion worked with him (in my FAIR days), and he is hardly a "free rider." His contributions are invaluable, and anyone with any true feeling for an alternative society would not make such a rank and stupid statement. Doug has reached far, far more people than you Yoshie. You are clearly a very bitter, angry and confused person. If anyone's hitching a free ride, it's you.
