March 9, 2011

We usually start our meetings with discussion of community matters, then cover some topics sent from the agenda committee, like these for this meeting:
  1. Should English be the Official Language of the USA?  Reference: LA Times, 2/9/11. Page A-14English Only? Press NO
  2. Should Municipal and State employees have the right to strike for benefits or wages?  Reference: WSJ 2/15/11 “Illinois Union Ally Turns Critic.” WSJ 2/28/11 “Union Power for Thee But Not For Me.”
  3. What can U.S. do to stop the pirating of ships and people in the seas off Somalia and the Persian Gulf?
  4. Should National Public Radio continue to be government subsidized?  Reference: American Legion Magazine, March 2011 Page 10, “Defund National Public Radio?”

I ask, what are the topics that we are reluctant to talk about, the proverbial elephants in the living room?
