Good points, Mike, and I agree.
Greens are no different.
Lastly, I would agree with your point of Greens not wanting to admit to weaknesses. Much hard work and personal sacrifice have gone into building the Maine Green organization. I've personally seen this and heard this from sympathisers on the outside - some who have given us professional support while sadly viewing our mechanizations as tired and aging. Our ideas and philosophies are there, but our follow-through is flat. I hope more of us get fired up and stay fired up.
