Interesting to read some of the comments relative to Tea Parties. This just reflects what Rick has been saying for many years that our representative democracy is not keeping up with the changes that are occurring around us and across the world. I find it interesting and distressing that there was so much press coverage on the Somalia pirate situation which is a continued outgrowth of the problems in this region, a systemic problem that we knew about during the Clinton years and probably earlier. The political situation is becoming more unpredictable with Iran, North Korea, Pakistan and Afghanistan (3 with or near to have nuclear weapons). We see the frustrations at the local level where are local officials are over whelmed with information and issues, especially with paying for services and the current tax revenue structure and how to conduct economic and community development. Again I find it interesting about the local public school system looking at closing “attendance centers” versus using the term neighborhood schools. As Marv Cetron tried to get us to understand, the learning environment isn’t about bricks and mortar, but well incentivized teachers that are trained well for helping children learn how they individually learn.
