Darrell, thanks for the words of encouragement. <br>
<br>
Being back in the "teenager parenting role", I am discovering the
values are useful prompts (topics) - especially when they are
discussed through the various media offered on the site - videos,
individual posts, quotations (some classics, some new - many of the
values have "lots" of posts and comments - all ages appear to be
represented. It is fun when one of the TV spots plays and we have
already talked about the "value".<br>
<br>
One of the "goals" of the FBL and Values project is stated to be
"Pass it on". My purpose is just that!<br>
<br>
Chiding, belittling or besmirching the values on our local
"community blog" (while somewhat informative) seems pointless to me
(or at best an effort of underachievement) - especially when both
FBL and Values seek input and discussion on each value. They have
asked for readers/viewers to post their comments, corrections,
extensions, amendments (whatever) so that a richer dialogue results
for all.<br>
<br>
They state they are quite willing to consider additional values.<br>
<br>
If you have comments or other changes, please visit the
aforementioned sites and post them. Many of the posts are quite
interesting (and provocative). <br>
<br>
And a reminder to all, if you find the "installments" boring,
inadequate, indefensible, offensive or you are just not interested,
please remember the "delete" button. I will try to remember to
include the Installment tag on subject line so you can easily spot
it.<br>
<br>
Best to all Veeps for a happy and prosperous NEW YEAR!!!<br>
<br>

<div>If I didn't know any better, I might think you were hinting
to Jeff he had posted enough on this topic. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Surely not, as you have strongly defended the importance of V
participants ability to discuss whatever they like, at whatever
length they like, in the recent past.</div>

<div>I hope he continues. I spent many years volunteering and
working for a values development organization. His list isn't
as succinct as the list of values the organization I worked for
espoused. Still, I've found some of the notes thought
provoking. And what harm can come from cogitating on and
discussing values?</div>

<div>I hope you are enjoying the holiday.<br>
