Well maybe "club" was a poor choice of words on my part. Give me a better term. There is "membership", not citizenship. None were born here that I know of and no passport needed. It's a "Cafe'" but it's "bring your own coffee!" You tell me.

Max envisions it; builds it; finances it and GUEST (un-named ) is going to tell him how to run it. Believe it or not, I understand that way of thinking but that's another thread and a volatile one at that. It has to do with borders and such! Ouch!

Some enterprizes DO take on a life of their own but they are always corporate enterprizes, oligopolies, democracies and such. And while Max apparently ascribes to democratic principles and is a patient and broadminded person, private ownership prevails. It's a monarchy that resembles a democracy. Or, it's a cafe' in which the owner reserves the right to refuse service to anyone. The last is a phrase known to most Americans. How about you folks from other countries? Do private businesses in your respective countries have a similar caveat?
