E pluribus unum (was: What happened?)

E pluribus unum (out of the many, one) is not the motto of the United States by chance. As the recent election of George W Bush showed, there comes a point when, whatever form of democracy has been agreed, it has to be accepted. I argued, both privately and in the meeting, that the Bristol Motion (formerly Option C or 3) was the right answer. That option was defeated by a handsome majority. I reserve the right to think that the majority was wrong but, within the system we have, the only options I have are to continue to fight for my views from within (as I shall do, to no surprise from Alan or Jean) or leave the Society. Your argument suggests that YOU should leave the Society not the “real true members”.
