Renewing the American Experiment

[EVERETT813 at aol.com]

Hello, Therese;

Well, you wondered, so I'm responding.   My experience with lists and chat
boards is that when the subject gets away from its focus, in the case of this
List, the practice and processes of OS, it can become irrelevant and often
nasty.   I don't happen to think that a List ostensibly dedicated to promulgating
the understandings and practices of OS should stray too far from that topic.
Just because the topic is OS doesn't mean the List is OS for just anything
that comes along.   jmho.

When 9/11 happened, we had a several posters who were blaming the US for that
cataclysmic event and posting so herein.   They were challenged, primarily by
myself, and eventually left off the polemics.  I just didn't want us going
down that road again.   That was my concern because Korten's hypotheses are
certainly challenge-able and have little or nothing to do with OS, the practice
and processes, etc.   At least with the practice of OS, we know somewhat of what
we speak from experience.    There you have it.

Be well,

Paul Everett
