I would add to this that I'm not saying ... I think no one is saying ... that these things will not be done. What I have seen from the commentators so far, though, does not sound like a ringing endorsement of this kind of idea. Something to think about, perhaps.

I like to think deeply about simple things. I find that being very clear on the basics, and taking nothing for granted is an effective way to successfully do most things in life.

I would respectfully suggest that those abuses cannot be addressed effectively by having more rules, but instead by promoting understanding of our shared values , and by our senior LOs coac...

NCI is a society within a society within a world within a world. NCI was formed with some simple ideas in mind, probably a lot like "have fun and help people". As people join and leave, come and go, things change, and things stay the same. We are large now, and have been trying to run &quo...
