Rules

Membership is open to anyone except:

* Persons or groups who break the law or advocate breaking the law

* Persons or groups who engage in or advocate revolt

* Persons or groups who seek or advocate the control of government by any vested interest or who do not seek or advocate a government designed and run for all the people.

* Persons or groups who deny or seek to deny the full human rights of others and the fair and equitable availability of justice as a right of all people.

* Persons or groups who advocate or support the use of psychotropic drugs, electric shocks or brain operations so as to modify or control human behavior.

* Persons or groups who advocate war or violence as "solutions" to problems of human interrelations.

The purpose of the Ciizens Forum is to form a consensus able to provide government with wise counsel. As such it is not party-political. Any person or group that violates the above precepts will be barred or removed from this Forum.

In similar vein the following posts will be deleted by me or by adnminstrators appointed by me:

* Posts advocating violence or the breaking of the law. This does not preclude anyone from advocating changing unjust laws.

* Posts expressing religious or ideological hatred or intolerance.

* Posts that are obscene, insulting or simply bad manners. We are seeking reasoned argument and a well-mannered exchange of views, not invective.

All suggestions as to how the Forum can be improved upon are welcome.
