Any interest in this subject is welcome, and the current by Dan Schumacher very much so (see March 9 VMIGP agenda). As a disabled veteran of the great non-events of 2008 and 2009 I herewith add two cents. The first is that reading the principal authors of books on the subject gets one ahead much faster than individual journeys into the web. Viz: William Greider, Ellen Brown, Bernard Lietaer, Tom Greco. The second is that the topic is so branching, so bottomless, so, so, uh, sticky, that no amount of study gets...

While many of you are bravely manwomaning the bully pulpit, the trenches, the streets, or the odd freeway overpass in the cause of salvation I in contrast recede into a morass of despair. I have followed the guidance of Chris Hedges to comprehension yet slacked off on his command to fight anyway. As they say in the shipyard, my purchase on the ascent to salvation is two-blocked. Yep, I’m a late comer to reality. I want off. Like that character in the Michener book, a pottery expert who got wrapped up in Zionism...

The following went to the Loop Feb 28 At the present time true healthcare at the national level is impossible because what is called reform is hampered not only by the immense power of the established way but also by a warped idea of what health care is. The following describes the warp and goes on to suggest an about face alternative for Vashon. As now practiced, “healthcare” is insurance against failure of our health. Like auto insurance it pays for repair. Like auto insurance costs rise relentlessly...

| March 9th Agenda: Second Draft - Monday, March 01, 2010 Hello again everyone! Spencer Campbell here. Preparations for the upcoming meeting are going as smoothly as can be expected, considering I am all but cold calling people. It will be happening at Joy's house, as usual. Some of you may have noticed that there was no new announcement last Monday. This is because, unexpectedly, no one added more items to the agenda that week. This week, however, there is one new item contributed by Maryrose Asher. An update is certainly in order! 1): I will give a treasury report. -- Jeannie Ernst (inferred)
2): "I will explain the meeting format." -- Spencer Campbell
3): "Who should facilitate the April meeting?" -- Spencer Campbell
4): "What do we want to accomplish by meeting here today?" -- Spencer Campbell
5): "Would an annual plan be realistic - and would it be a good or bad thing for us?!" -- John Cornelison
6): What should we do about the strawberry parade? -- John Cornelison (paraphrased)
7): I will give an update on Richard Curtis's senate campaign. -- Maryrose Asher (paraphrased)

| March 9th Agenda: First Draft - Monday, February 15, 2010
For those of you who didn't get the memo*... hi. My name is Spencer Campbell, and I'll be your facilitator for the March meeting. Because I believe in optimizing the efficiency of everything I can get a hold of, I'll be using my own format on a trial basis. Instead of an agenda consisting of explicitly-scheduled items, an agenda for my meetings consists of a simple numbered list of questions and statements (with corresponding speaker). There is no time attached to these items, and no guarantee that we will get around to them, but as a rule those appearing higher in the list will be addressed earlier in the meeting.
*Yes, there was an actual memo. It was on the mailing list! It's difficult to imagine anyone who reads the website yet neglects to read the mailing list, but I would be remiss to assume.
The first draft of the March agenda follows. It's worth noting that, as of 0001 hours on March 9th, this agenda will be finalized and fixed. No new items will be added, no old items removed, and no sneaky rearrangement of existing items will occur. If you have an issue that you'd like addressed, you should send an Email to me as soon as possible so that I can tack it on. (Please phrase it in such a way that I can convey the concept to the group in one or two sentences.)
Generally, items will be ordered on a first-come first-serve basis. In this case the first three items are mostly a holdover from the previous meeting format, so I have Jeannie making the first announcement even though I haven't actually heard from her.
1): I will give a treasury report. -- Jeannie Ernst (inferred)
2): "I will explain the meeting format." -- Spencer Campbell
3): "Who should facilitate the April meeting?" -- Spencer Campbell
4): "What do we want to accomplish by meeting here today?" -- Spencer Campbell
5): "Would an annual plan be realistic - and would it be a good or bad thing for us?!" -- John Cornelison
6): What should we do about the strawberry parade? -- John Cornelison (paraphrased)
That's it for the time being. From now until the meeting itself (which is on a Tuesday, mind), I will be posting the latest version of the agenda as an announcement here every Monday. I'll be personally contacting as many known affiliates of the VMIGP as possible, finding out whether they're coming and if they have any issues to bring up, but if you want to save me some time or if you just want to chat:
