RE: Fw: CO Lib Platform Committee

[Paul Tiger]

“manifesting as stagmation.” What a line! Stagmation? Is that derived from stigmata? Meaning while we work on this blood will emanate from our hands and feet?   Yes indeed, this document could become an outreach product. But truly it needs more time.   I am not clear that the bored is riding herd on this one, or on much of anything for that matter. Not meant as an insult, but as a statement pointing to not enough time to get much done. Anyone thinking that there is enough power to wield in such a way as to limit the actions of others has got to be dreaming. Before you can control something you have to be well organized. I don’t see that pretty much anywhere except maybe El Paso County. Generally we are all to disorganized to be able to reign in anything, and this includes the state board.   If we create something and it gets the boot at the convention, then we will have something to whine about. If we have nothing to present, we have nothing to whine about.   I am off to read the national platform and see if I can find something specific that calls to me.   paul   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John A.
