We need everyone to step up to the plate and make some changes for the better. People's ideas are welcome. But, you've got to bring a positive attitude and be ready to do more than just talk. We have to work on changes, not just talk about them. We've been fat and lazy for too long.
Shared governance is a great idea, but it only works when people are involved.
Since people are no longer involved it doesn't work. A system needs to be developed that requires participation and responsibility. The person who bails their boat with a coffee mug accomplishes more that the person who sits complaining that they need an bilge pump. We need to spend a little more time working and a lot less time talking.
