[Winona Online Democracy]
Hello Paul and Winona Online Democracy,
Good point. It's important to continually define terms, especially if
conversations wonder off in new directions. Helps reduce
misunderstandings.
A response to your question: all of the items mentioned in your list plus
educated, content, involved, and caring citizens and much more.
