But this is a moral issue rather than a scientific one; values are at stake here — not facts. It is in the irritating human realm where the interesting difficulties are, and where one might have to really think about and deal with an individual’s history, circumstances and reactions. It is the attempted standardization of a human being and of a notion of achievement that is limiting, prescriptive and bullying." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STYU-iz8bUQ&feature=player_embedded Jill Vialet and play to make progress. http://www.i-am-bored.com/bored_link.cfm?link_id=65656 on deadlines kill creativity
Simple Serve is about community service options close to home. I look at what's out there to volunteer for and update the blog. This blog is like a clearinghouse for projects. I get my info from the library, the community centers, the senior centers, educational institutions and the municipal office. It is one thing to be a part of the community and it is another matter to belong and be social in it.
