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

away from our main strength.  The general sessions are important for that 
unity and strength and shouldn't be reduced.
