Update dears.

Alrighty, so our second meeting is tomorrow. The first one was the fifteenth of September, and I have to say that over all, I was pleased with the results. We came up with many topics for discussion, most concerning the government and other social issues that are at the heart of our society. The topic of Gay Marriage was chosen for the second meeting on the twenty-second.
Well... I have heard mixed results, from the meeting going well, to it going...not so well. Most reviews matching the latter.
While I understand this topic is very touchy for some, I must also stress that everyone needs to remain respectful and civil. This means that insults, yelling, and general unreasonablness will not be tolerated. You will be asked to lower your voice, rephrase your views to a respectable level, and or apoligize for any and all insults. If you cannot act like mature young adults, you will then be asked to leave.
I am hoping that we can readdress this topic tomorrow, in depth, and possibly more effectively than at the last meeting. That being said, once it becomes clear that this, and any other topic, has been talked to death, we will move on. This does not mean anyone will be able to ignore that request and continue speaking once the subject has been closed. This will save time, patience and honestly, it's just common courtesy.
So, due to Charlie Robert leaving the school, and my absence, I no longer have the list of people that attended any of the meetings, or the topics we had suggested. I would love to be able to credit those that showed up, and put in their two cents worth, so if you were there at any of the meetings please feel free to leave a comment with your name and what meeting you attended.
Also, in order to expand our list of topics, it would be great to hear (well read,) suggestions here, that can then be discussed both here, on the blog, and in the actual meetings. Please keep in mind that I moderate all comments and will not allow any insults or other irrational behavior, so think before you type, and we can avoid all of that.
Well, I hope to see many of you there, and maybe some new faces. Just a reminder, the meeting is in Mr. Evans' room (312) at lunch, and topics being brought to the meeting is greatly apreciated.
Thank you for reading, and sticking with us thus far.
Becker.

P.S. I don't know how much of this blog you have explored, but over to the left side, there are links to news and informational websites to help you get some ideas for topics. And at the very bottom of the page there is a 'news updater' from Fox, which is typically uptodate and recent.
