[kj] Democracy drumming

[fluw]

doubt raven regrets the last two..the guy just doesn't display that much 
concern for quality or ability to discern in general.
geordie must have regrets and it seems he has made statements that would 
support that position.
but jaz may be too absorbed to notice, and if he were to pull his head 
out his shit canal long enough to observe, he might find a whole mess of 
things less trivial to regret.
