It has come to my attention, that two people were shot... Because we are afraid of each other. Even if that wasn't the reason, I feel it is long past time for a "town-hall" meeting. It has been years, enough years that I don't think, besides a handful, that any of you attended the last one we had.

I would like to see every single one of you in attendance, young and old, men, women, children, and in between. There is a large amphitheater classroom in the University that will seat everyone, and then some, comfortably.

We do not need to be afraid of each other here, because I don't doubt there will come a time that we well need each other, again. I'm not being dramatic, but I'm talking life and death need, not just because one or the other has a useful skill that would make life easier.

So please, help me end this, and bring us all together again.

Edit: There will be drinks and snacks.

	Yeah, but when you were faced with town-hall greatness... I don't know. I'd go for a little crazy I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Okay, so you can consider your town hall meeting a success if you don't have any of these speakers:

- someone screaming about her partner breaking contract and having a child with another woman and demanding that the colony sanction them both.
- someone talking in a monotone for two hours about his pet project and why it deserves morec resources.
- an argument about what kind of guns are allowable in the meeting-room.
- someone using up all the meeting time reading out irrelevant satirical poems because his neighbour was next on the speakers' list and he didn't want her grievance heard that day.
- a very heated debate over allowing a child to vote in which everyone had a different idea about citizenship.
- cows wandering into the room

	I think if the cows feel they're up to the hike to the third wheel from the bio-dome, they're welcome to be part of the meeting. (Reply to this) (Parent)
