DPA preys on the differences. ALPA focuses on the common goals.

We can find exceptions to those two statements, and that keeps this thread going. Too bad. If Timmy dropped the predatory exploitation of our differences, and accepted the fact that all organizations have flaws that need fixing, I think we could make some progress correcting ALPA's lapses in focus.

"In order to form a more perfect union…" I read that somewhere.
