Terrific, terrific… The Ethical Culture Society is just the kind of place that would benefit from having a blog to record the intentions, debates and good feelings that bubble up from our "real world" community.
Thanks swurgle for making it happen.
Just to note, tomorrow the Society is hosting its new non-fiction book club. We'll be discussing Nonzero: The Logic of Human Destiny (Tuesday July 25 at 7:30pm).
The Sunday before last’s NY Times Op Ed section included a page-spanning piece by the author entitled An American Foreign Policy That Both Realists and Idealists Should Fall in Love With. The policy recommendations refer to this book. It's not too late for new comers to chime in - if you’d like to be familiar with the ideas and participate in the discussion, an excellent summary is available on Wright’s web site at http://nonzero.org/.
Hey NowWhat? - I gave you administratvie privileges so you can adapt this thing as needed. I'm a numskull when it comes to HTML.
ReplyDeleteI guess the next step is to raise awareness that this thing exists. I sent an invitation to the folks who put together the focus but since they don't know who swurgle is they may view the invitation with suspicion.
I guess we'll need to figure out if this is going to be more like a publication with limited contributors and unlimited commentary, or a bulletin board, with many contributors, in which case we should find out who wants to contribute.
Thoughts? Ideas?
One more note - I put a site meter on the bottom of the page. If you click on it you can see how many visitors the blog has gotten, how visitors found the blog, how long they stayed, and where in the world they come from.
ReplyDeleteSo far, zero and counting...
The only addition I made was the hyperlink to www.ethicalfocus.org on the page title.
ReplyDeleteHey, I just did it again!
No question about it, we're a bit slow on the uptake; but EC'ers will get the hang of it, I'm sure.
