New Group Synopsis

This Friday we will be submitting a synopsis of the new discussion group that we are proposing. After that they will try to find a time slot for us.

Here is a first draft of the synopsis. Your comments are welcome.

Group Name: Zoom-In
Join a friendly discussion about a predetermined topic of interest. Topics may come from current events but are sufficiently complex to merit a more in-depth discussion. Participants will select the topics for future meetings, giving them the option to come prepared or just drop in to enjoy the discussion. Group members will help each other learn how and where to find the best sources for information.
Some ideas for topics:

  • Climate Change 
  • Heathy Living
  • Modern Medicine
  • Gun Control
  • Drones and other robots
  • Pleases suggest others

    I would include (1) our changing system of governance in the USA.

    I am re-suggesting several things that I mentioned before:
    1) public schools: is there a move on to abandon them in favor of private and/or charter schools?
    2) the Middle East: probably the most incindiary topic in the world, esp. the Israeli/Palestinian aspect of it.
    3)war: what is it good for? In my opinion, only for the military/industrial complex.
    4) runaway technology: is the negative side overtaking the positive?
