signs – Black and White

Anthem

The birds they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don’t dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
Be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
The dove is never free.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in. —Leonard Cohen

Community meetings

Once upon a time the public stage was an open place to see and be seen

Sometime the being seen was without a particular message. Maybe one’s presence expressed support? Maybe it expressed a watchfulness.

LanCoVa BOS — There is information available from body language and the context in which it is thrown down

signs — There are means, within the physical space, even if it is not your turn to be heard to be heard.

Now there are all forms of electronic meetings. Have they increased accessibility? Have they increased effective citizen participation in governance?
