i think you misunderstood my meaning of progressive.

by progressive i mean moving beyond the process currently in place by
utilizing tools available to us in order to better understand
political and governmental decisions.

i wasnt saying 'go out and buy every howard zinn book, now!' :)

and now we see one of the drawbacks to internet based discussion -
comprehension of rhetoric.

we are progressing past television advertisements
we are progressing to form an online community of thought contributors
we are progressing toward a focus on the topics at hand
it is a progressive movement, label it wikigressive so that it may not
be misconstrued.

stay tuned; same discussion to follow on democratic vs democratic.
