"IMO pels (and laurels) spend way too much time sitting around talking about being peers and not enough time BEING peers."
Oh, I love you so very, very much. I hate meetings so very, very much.
Rather, I should ammend that. I understand why we have regional meetings; it's a necessary evil in a Kingdom that is big. I think that 90% of our meetings at the regional level could be conducted either by email/forum/online. That would leave some folks out but there are always free internet access points at libraries.
I find the Kingdom level meetings much more informational and I actually like them (just a little). I'm there to listen to who's up and coming in the Kingdom that I might not have otherwise known about and to advise the Crown on my little piece of it all.
I don't think you can call yourself a 'Communist' for feeling that your primary job as a Peer does NOT include MAKING other Peers. I feel the same way... I'm here to be a resource and example, not to push or politic. I'm not sure what I would call it... maybe a 'Realist'?
