- Over on Facebook, Tim Dunlop wrote today about walking through the State Library in Melbourne, with its series of beautiful spaces, and full of people, too, as he said. A "Glorious public institution."#
- Seems like there should be a week in school every year during which young people learn about parts of the society that the people built with shared labor, with taxes, after agreements worked out in civic institutions, paid for with their taxes, maintained as well, and worthy of being proud of. Don't leave out the last part. A week each year in school devoted to things we have built and maintained, our elders have envisioned and built and paid for, that are well worthy of being proud of. Ask the young people, "What kinds of things in society should citizens be proud of, and how do those things come to be?"#
