pledgebank.com has helped us (open space types of folk at http://clubofdc9.blogspot.com where David cheerled Organisational Democracy last October and http://osoflondon.blogspot.com) where Queen Elizabeth 2 remains one of only 2 mega-powerful people of global influence (whose consistency of values I know how to map) whose lips support humanity's connections with goodwill with every uteerance -and 200 supporters of www.catcomm.org - understand how the million person web works in the first form we discussed. I think we may now need to move on.

For example if we look at the children's version of David's Loose Connections, it seems to me that it is time that a million parents pledged to add one topic dialogue each to growing up as a 9 to 13 year old in the networked world of the future not the separatist world of the past

why 9? it could be 10 to 14 or whatever 5 yeear learning curve most opens up the vales and self-confidences you open source for the rest of your life as well as the ways you use the internet tools to find your own best co-mentors through life and help others do likewise

why girls? because selfishly I have a nine year old daugter to parent but also because the 21st C wont survive unless we have as many nurturing leaders as the 20th C had male rambos. I am not wanting to be sexist here; if men will learn from women in the most open of collaborative ways, fine. But where do you start a curriculum between 9-13 years when so mich of its future is oin conflict withy the examination by sperate facts that dumbing down and narrow cultural forms of schooling have become in West and North's richest and carboised most filthy places?
