The Problem - A Matter of Heart and Home

I know I have neglected you, my blaudience; but, like me, I know you understand how demanding work can be of our time. So, no apology on that count.

Now, down to the business at hand. I've been thinking of what can be done at a grass roots level to foster a renewed sense of community spirit and pride that is constructive and meaningful. And I would quantify and define constructive and meaningful for example, as fewer blighted and neglected properties, more businesses and a propensity for individual activism in supporting an interest in the welfare of the community and its citizens. Specifically, young people, students, who are committed and vested in being active in local government because they have learned and experienced how local government operates and the potential for good that it holds for members of our local society and for them personally. Why young people and students? Because they are the ones whose economic and social needs are not being met at a local level and who don't know for example, that they can demand bond elections to support the community services and quality of life that makes them proud of their community and makes this community home. Home where there is not just history and memory but sustenance and shelter and comfort and a fertile environment for growth of economy and ideas and families. I think I am accountable to them about this; I think you are accountable to them too. Do they have reponsibility in this framework? Certainly, and they will respond and they will be responsible if they are taught and they are encouraged and they are held accountable.
