Re: What sort of Pagan Institution would you set up?
No, it's very nature (including people) precludes it from being successful.

He poses some very valid points, however it appears that the biggest issues that he has are a direct result of unreasonable expectations of the people in the community.
He mentions that every "Pagan" community seems to want to charge money and doesn't seem to acknowledge the fact that we are in one of the laziest societies where most people can't be troubled to hold the door for someone with their hands full. He wants it for free. And he wants everyone to be an adult about the situation. And he expects that someone will try to take advantage of the situation.
And he's right.
Where he's wrong is that he assumes that human nature will be changed by a plea to "stand up and help your fellow man", when the last 15k years has pretty much shown that something shiny is worth more than a life.
