Your raise an interesting point. Yes, it is impossible to get to all the
division sutff, etc., you would want. but I am not sure what the solution is.
Our greatest strength is as a unified national organization. We can't do
anything, or should I say, in my opinion we shouldn't do anything, to take
away from our main strength. The general sessions are important for that
unity and strength and shouldn't be reduced.
