• A reply on Conversation: Provide the tools and knowledge for TEDx communities to promote and implement open government and open data initiatives.

  Mar 21 2011: Hi David,
  
  "What would it take to identify one village, one small city government to begin an initiative?"
  
  Is it possible to identify yourself as the beginning an initiative? Once you have shown to govern yourself with total transparency would not your neighbor see and react from your model becoming more transparent and self governing too?

  Mar 21 2011: Hi Julian,
  
  We are - Every meme goes as far as it's design, power and truth carry it. The nation states are being dissipated in a bath of truth from your fingers, Bettys eyes and my ears;-)

• A comment on Conversation: Is love simply for the purpose of furthering the human race?

  Mar 21 2011: Love?
  
  For?
  
  Furthering or Fathering;-)
  
  Short opinion = YES
  
  I think that a term exists that states - All our actions are designed to procreate to the best of our ability
  
  Anyone know of this term?
  
  Questioningly,

  A reply on Conversation: What is the true value (if any) of organized schooling?

  Mar 21 2011: Matthew - "Home schooling is flawed for a variety of reasons. Parents may not be proficient teachers; parents may not have the time and parents may not care enough to ensure their child's education"
  
  Parents don't teach - Children learn
  
  Simplifyingly,
