I feel that these categories should be incorporated into smeinars because each one is important as another. Theses issues are pertinent to the growth of our society and any other cultural society.

Given the success of several home schooled children that I know and the break down of many communities...I think that if you strengthen the village i.e. the family then you strengthen the world. If the parents start at birth building up our children then I think many of our problems will be easier to solve.

My true choice is not listed here. Economic development is not us waiting for someone to give us a job, but its about market creation. Moving vertical from concept to consumption. To create this vertical paradigm, we need functional communities. Functional communities being defined as having three (3) core elements: (1) a sense of community; feeling connected to and responsible for one another because we are Black and not based on geography, (2) an independent economic structure within the community, (3) a political body that advocates on the behalf of the community.

Once we have these elements in place, other issues can be more easily addressed. He who pays the piper picks the tune. We can have more say in the educational system, in hiring, spreading of wealth, health, etc.

We can create our own systems, go back to the extended family, and demand from and reprimand our own. Check-out "Powernomics: A National Plan To Empower Black America" by Dr. Claud Anderson - "A New Way to Think, See, and Behave in Racial Matters", "Blacks are trapped in the lowest level of a real life
monopoly game, PowerNomics®" is a national plan to empower America's only non-immigrant
underclass."
