     will be
        more efficient, more focused, and more decisive, in my view.

        of
           the motion wording.
           Censure (and more) is warranted here, however, I cannot vote
   for
        a
           motion which claims the outrageous comments which were made by
        Mr.
           Vohra are "libertarian ideas", and that our leaders and
        candidates are
           trying to win hearts and minds for those ideas espoused by Mr.
        Vohra,
           just stated in a different way.
           Our platform says "consenting adults" and that our recognition
   of
           parental roles does not condone abuse.  Our platform does not
        say, "If
           your having sex leads to kids that you can't afford, and we
   have
        to pay
           for, please don't have sex.  Else: not our business."  Etc.
           I still seek cosponsors for yesterday's proposed wording of a
        motion
           for suspension.
           I will formally cast my vote on this motion later, as timing
   may
        matter
           if there is to be an electronic meeting.
