Dear Colleagues
One of the many lessons learned is that socio-economic progress is constrained when efforts are unduly concentrated in any specific sector, ignoring the others. Oftentimes, issues that constrain are associated with some other sector, and success depends on everything working together and not just one bit of the puzzle.
Process that includes all the sectors has much more chance of success than an initiative that has a single sector focus. The process is best when it is inclusive, rather than exclusive.

The Vision Thing
Dear Colleagues
Tr-Ac-Net wants to be more about what it is doing than what it might possibly do in the future ... but having said that, the reality is that Tr-Ac-Net has more vision and more hopeful optimism about positive change on a global basis than most organizations.
Tr-Ac-Net can have a hopeful optimistic vision because there is science and technology that has enormous potential ... and there are several billion people that can make almost anything possible.
Though society has allowed itself to be constrained by systems and procedures, and in this constrained system, widespread poverty has been a norm ... Tr-Ac-Net does not believe that such poverty needs to be.
The Tr-Ac-Net vision is that people ... all people ... should have opportunity to progress, and that community is an organizational form that can be helpful in making opportunity possible.
While there is value in having money and being able to pay the bills ... this is not the only value in society. People have far more dimensions than just the one that embraces material goods and money. Society has multiple facets ... the more the better ... and social value is complex.
The idea of "pursuit of happiness" is a wonderful idea ... especially when it is an idea for everyone, with nobody left out.
Please stay tuned to the Tr-Ac-Net blogs as we do our modest part in trying to help improve the global society.
Sincerely
Peter Burgess
