[Peace-discuss] AWARE should teach a non-credit course at Parkland over the summer

[Carl G. Estabrook]

Why don't you set it up? I'm sure a lot of AWAREists would be willing  
to participate - suggest topics & readings, give lectures, lead  
discussions, participate in panels, etc.

But someone needs to (in the words of the Muppet Movie) "assume the  
awesome responsibilities of command" (i.e., choose among suggestions  
for topic, readings, lectures/panels, etc.)

That's similar to - but not identical with - the administrative tasks  
of making arrangements with Parkland, acquiring materials, publicizing  
the course(s), etc.

That last shouldn't be ignored; the bromide is that you really need  
only one thing to do theatre: an audience.

Ask for suggestions, but make decisions.
