Having only today discovered that our SEC intends changing its rules to 
prevent small stockholders from introducing resolutions at sharholder 
meetings I have the following comments:
     
1. The small percentage of the public (for whom the SEC works) who have 
accidentally discovered the proposed changes are becoming accustomed by 
now to both corporations and government taking action to eradicate 
general public opposition to their joint aims by simply not informing 
them.
     
2. My personal reaction to these rulings is ambivalent; although they are 
quite obviously egregious, and counter to the interests of democracy and 
the necessity of corporate accountability as made express through 
charters, I cannot help but feel that the SEC's obvious contempt for the 
public interest as displayed by such attempts, can only result in the 
hardening of public opinion against the protagonists who, howevermuch 
they feel impuned by their lofty position, are yet trapped within a 
democratic system of government, and thus still ultimately accountable 
for their actions.
