#15.5 - meeting recap
Our meeting last Thursday was fun, educations, and had wine...sounds like the prefect GIS meeting. We planned to discuss the politics and fortunately for us the Democrats scheduled a debate for the same night. So we popped open a bunch of bottles of Beaujolais Nouveau and discussed the blow by blow on the debate. With our drawing too many conclusions we decided that Hillary and Obama are the front runners and neither gained nor lost much from the debate. Biden, Dobb, and Kucinch all made great points, but have not chance of winning. And Richardson and Edwards need to just get off the stage.I'm thinking the next meeting should be Tuesday, 12/11. Any thoughts on a topic?
Let’s create a place to share good ideas - good ideas that foster good community, good environment, good people, and good times.
To start, this place would be a bi-weekly meeting. A forum to have fun, discuss important/relevant issues, and to discuss problems that we face as a people and a community. This will all be done over a few pints and glasses of wine.
Our ideas will vary widely, from discussions of religion, politics, history, philosophy, and ethics to a dirty joke night or a whiskey tasting. The ideas can and will change from meeting to meeting and hopefully we will hit on some good ideas - good ideas that we’ll put into action and create real results.
But the main idea of the Good Idea Society is to create a “society” of friends where ideas can be safely expressed and explored while having a good time. Not so different from our lives already – just a touch more structure to help bring the ideas to life.
Let’s be serious, but let’s not take ourselves too seriously. Let’s try to do good, but make sure we’re having fun and not getting bogged down in the weight of our ideas.
