Re: [RC] [RC] Making a difference (was: AERC joining, etc.) - k s swigartFrom: "Ranelle Rubin" <raneller@xxxxxxx> Thanks Barbara. You obviously read it in the light I meant it. Love it, leave it, or change it, but don't complain about something you are unwilling to be a part of changing. But complaining IS a deliberate action with the intent to make a change. The very fact that somebody complains is evidence that they are WILLING "to be a part of changing" it...at least trying to. It is people who don't complain about things they don't like who are unwilling to be a part of changing. You may not agree with people's complaints and you may find their complaints irritating or irrational, but one thing you cannot acuse complainers of is an unwillingness to try to change things. Trying to change things that you don't have complete control over yourself is what complaining is for. If it comes along with ideas for improvement as well, so much the better, but the person doing the complaining doesn't HAVE to be the person who comes up with a better idea. If there IS going to be change, SOMEBODY will have to come up with an idea for improvement; however, if nobody complains, then nobody will even know that improvement may be necessary. kat Orange County, Calif. :) p.s. Jim HAS come up with what he considers to be ideas for improvement. Much of the debate is whether these are good ideas. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
