Thanks for your opinion Caitlin. A good starting point for a listserve<br>
use recommendation.<br>
<br>
I think there are a few subjects missing. After all, CRNMC stands for<br>
Community Rights Network of Mendocino County. So I would think that the<br>
Community Rights part and the Network part would be big part of what is on<br>
this list.<br>
<br>
Personally I don't much care about fracking news unless it's another<br>
community rights based ordinance but I understand that since our ordinance<br>
deals with fracking that others may be interested in fracking news. What<br>
interests me more is the Community and Network parts of our Community<br>
Rights Network.<br>
<br>
Now I'm basing my opinions on the assumption that Albert Einstein was right when he<br>
said something along the lines of you can't fix a problem with the same<br>
thinking that created the problem. So I strongly suspect that most<br>
important part of our Community Rights Network is to examine the colonized<br>
thinking that got us into this mess where we need a community rights<br>
ordinance and changing our thinking. And more importantly, modeling how we<br>
want the world to be within our organization. I'm reasonably certain<br>
that our society's default hierarchal/dominator/power consolidating model<br>
will not get us out of this mess. And therefore we would be wise to be<br>
diligent in not letting our organization slip into those default models.<br>
<br>
Looking back at the meting in Fort Bragg where our name was selected, I<br>
marvel at the wisdom of the group. Our name really points the way for us.<br>
There is the Community part which implies that it is a collaborative<br>
endeavor, the Rights part that speaks to our fundamental unalienable right<br>
to govern ourselves, and the Network part that implies a number of<br>
autonomous and interdependent/interconnected communities. So I would<br>
think that subjects around how we take back our personal power, how<br>
we collaborate as autonomous individuals, and how the various<br>
collaborative groups network would be worthy of this list.<br>
<br>
It seems likely that others will point out important subjects that I<br>
have not thought of.<br>
