  14. If the Hurricane fund has enough we should seriouusly consider Hooser's proposal. Our students deserve no less. Convene a special session.
  15. Obama was not elected by the Dem. Party or the Central Committee. The grassroots did it. Open up the system. We fear sharing power.
  16. People said giving charter schools the power to self govern would be a disaster. Charters do just fine. Distrust = apathy.
  17. What if N. Bds commissioned young artists to create murals on ugly freeway pillars? What about the shabby airport? We fear democracy.
  18. Most of our ideas about public accountability are top down. Higher ups know more and are more honest that the grassroots. Thus, apathy.
  19. What if a N. Board could decide on the uses of a park? Grant permits for a parade? Have funds to beautify the neighborhood? Democracy!!!!!
  20. What if parents & teachers could actually design a school? What if a N. Board could prioritize City spending in their area?
