           Comments on Concentrations of Power

Only  in  rare  cases did the writer of  the  essays  here
openly  seek  election  to or appointment to  any  of  the
influential positions he served in;  locally,  regionally,
or  nationally.   Usually he was "drafted"  or it  was  by
common  consent of the group to be served;  that he  began
serving in each influential position.   On no occasion was
the  writer  the  focus  of  any  notable  controversy  or
conflict over his serving in any position; even repeatedly
or for an extended period of time. For example,  he served
as  the  Parlimentarian to practically all chairs  of  the
Iowa  Democratic  Party's  Linn County  Central  Committee
during 1968  - 2004.   The chairs normally served  for two
years, during each  term in office; thus the writer served
for  about  18  chairs;  each of whom pick  whomever  they
wished  ---   when they were elected to office.    On  may
occasions  toward the end  everybody took for granted  who
would continue as the parlimentarian,  and no announcement
was made! There was no controversy on any occasion.

On  many occasions,  because there were no available other
qualified  persons to serve in a particular capacity,  the
writer  was  given multiple  powers/duties  without  overt
checks and balances;  e.g.,  holding four key positions at
the 1974 Iowa Democratic Party State Convention.  Then was
elected  by  the State Central Committee to serve  as  the
State   Secretry  (without  having  sought   the   office,
consented  to being a candidate,   without any  additional
candidate  nominated,   and  without having  attended  any
meeting  of the State Central Committee before)  ---   and
with common consent, without comment,  took the minutes of
the meeting at which he was elected.

Democracy is in danger when such concentrations of power
occur!  Other true stories might be told.
