YRUU Institutional Memory Project: Ben Alexander
http://yruuinstmem.blogspot.com/2008/02/ben-alexander.html
YRUU Institutional Memory Project. Wednesday, February 13, 2008. Thanks to the bloggers for recognizing the importance of an institutional memory for YRUU. I wish we had this technology during LRY's existence. I am so sad that the UUA still seems to have it's head in the sand about the importance and significance of empowering it's youth program. Common Ground's legacy is one of adult-enforced restructuring, prompted by the inability of LRY's leadership to address its own internal problems.". When I firs...

YRUU Institutional Memory Project: Eric Swanson

YRUU Institutional Memory Project. Tuesday, February 12, 2008. I was trying to keep this brief, but I'll settle for shorter-than-a-novel length. I'm a long-time adult advisor on many levels, and as a youth I was a delegate to Common Ground 2. My resume overlaps with those from previous posters Matt, Tim, Betty Jeanne, Sara, and others. 'Nuff said on that front. For that matter, the entire process of the Consultation on Ministry to and with Youth has been proceeding on (what appeared to me to be) predeter...

Plastic Manzikert: The Death of an Enemy
http://kelseydatherton.blogspot.com/2011/05/death-of-enemy.html
Power Dynamics as they concern Youth, Foreign Policy, Race, and UUs. Monday, May 2, 2011. The Death of an Enemy. The gestation period for revenge is 9 years, 7 months, 20 days. Or for justice. Or for closure. However you read the death of Osama bin Laden. It took about twice as long as the Manhattan project to go from notion to completion. We messed it up once before - in November 2001, just two months after the attacks of September 11th, we failed to capture him in a battle at Tora Bora. We as a nation ...

Plastic Manzikert: Fetishizing the Peasant
http://kelseydatherton.blogspot.com/2011/06/fetishizing-peasant.html
Power Dynamics as they concern Youth, Foreign Policy, Race, and UUs. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Is a classic text in a niche field that hits at the very central problem of modernity: how does a nation convert its population from subsistence farmers into modern citizens? It is seemingly without any knowledge of this history and informed by romantic notions filtered through the modern environmental movement that articles like this are written.

Plastic Manzikert: The intersection of faith and politics
http://kelseydatherton.blogspot.com/2009/12/intersection-of-faith-and-politics.html
Power Dynamics as they concern Youth, Foreign Policy, Race, and UUs. Friday, December 18, 2009. The intersection of faith and politics. In academia, this works out well: comparing the struggles that led Europe to its mostly secular public sphere coexisting with the occasional state-sponsored church is a valuable reference point for understanding similar the church and state relations happening elsewhere in the world today. Very good, but very niche. That is, to put it lightly, disgusting. The categor...
