I dig I dig. But I also think that the proposal --> discussion --> meetings
--> action model sorely omits reflection/evaluation.
Somewhere before OWS began, someone did some reflecting and re-evaluating.
If we're going to walk the walk I think we need to maintain that tradition
even at this small level.
But it doesn't need to dominate the agenda tonight
