It would be an interesting experiment if we *br*: could pull it off...especially since some Druids in one *br*: organization don't really recognize other Druids within a *br*: different organization as such. I suppose they would have to *br*: sit down and actually discuss various philosophies and try *br*: to find the common ground. *br*:*br*:      Is that what you're getting at, Akiernox? :-)*p*----------------------------------------------------------------------*br*     This is exactly what I'm trying to get at, thank you... I have noticed this problem, and I find such division to be rather alarming as it allows those who may be our opponents, to prevent druids from mustering enough political power to help bring others into a better method of living, and conducting business... I have given much thought to this subject as well as considering the political ramifications of such an entitiy, and realize that it would probably serve to help organize the common people against the elites...*p*----------------------------------------------------------------------*br*:*br*:      I can envision a setup rather like the system of the *br*: Iroquois Nations...actually, this is something I've given a *br*: lot of thought to over the years. Certain people have *br*: actually tried to do this; Willow started the New England *br*: Druids Summit with this in mind, I think. Unfortunately, *br*: it's like trying to herd cats.*br*:*br*: Leigh*br*----------------------------------------------------------------------*p*     I've heard of that N.E.D.S, there's one going to be held in August? this year in Massachussetts.  And I do agree, it would be like trying to herd cats... although it may be much easier to do once started. *br*
