FW: [WARC] Interesting Numbers

[Clare Jarvis]

Hi,

THN's point is the club itself doesn't do a thing, the members do it.   And 
Jim Browns point is that this should be an interesting activity, and Russ' 
point is that we should query non-members instead of member to figure out how 
to get the non-members interested and somebodies point (I lost track of who) 
that said that most organized activities ( churches and other orgs are 
suffering in the same way.).   I think all of you are right to a great 
extent.  To a certain extent our society is willing to accept and use all 
this techno magic and doesn't give a hoot how it works and is quite willing 
to complain when it doesn't.  The people in the club for the most part care 
how it works and can often figure out why it doesn't.

The federal government ever since 911 has known that communications is the 
most significant problem in disasters and only wants to throw more dollars at
more sophisticated and fragile technology.   Until our society and leaders 
understand that the people behind the technology is the most important 
element then we all will suffer from malaise.   I don't see this discussion 
as deteriorating but simply progressing in directions that seem logical given 
the history of the art and the history of our country in the last 13 years.
