An interesting resource. Thanks for posting it!
I saw it at work very clearly once; one tactic was to quickly pie-slice (gerrymander) the large group into "small groups" in such a way that critics were isolated from each other; get each small group to write up its policy recommendations and have a facilitator summarize them (the summary left out most critical elements); then in the grand wrap-up, all the small-groups' "recommendations" (which turned out to be all the same) were gathered and "summarized" by facilitators again, the summary being a second filter which left not the smallest trace of any dissent.
It gave the appearance of "democratic process" when in fact all the results were pre-determined.
This just in: “Al Gore threatens to release his chakra upon the world unless one of the candidates discusses Dingell-Norwood!”
It make no senses, but I did not understand this thread and have been peeling wallpaper and inhaling solvent fumes. Anyway, it seems suited for Halloween.
