I'm not sure there's any one thing I can do to the word to convey what it really means. Jerri Lynn Ball usually wrote it with a slash /communism. But that leaves out the essential ingredient that I know makes it more dangerous than communism, which is free market corporate capitalism. <br /><br />It is almost clearer when one writes communitarianism/community, as most ALL communitarian programs and plans come under the COMMUNITY label, as in COMMUNITY POLICING, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, COMMUNITY LAW, and COMMUNITY SPIRIT.<br /><br />Citizen Police are communitarian spies and they are trained to give out tickets for violations of COMMUNITY LAWS. The whole idea of crime prevention is communitarian, the only way they can "prevent" crime is to "predict" who will be the criminals, and for a good idea of how that works in the west we need look no further than England, where the govt is already taking children away from parents because they have the "potential" for crime. In the global kibbutz system, the "community" raises the children.Niki Raapanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14835214436658839836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938933649493088489.post-25146687534872848712010-11-01T08:46:35.797-07:002010-11-01T08:46:35.797-07:00"citizen" and "community are very i..."citizen" and "community are very innocuous terms.

This is an excellent opportunity for citizens in the community to better educate themselves on what police officers do and how the Powell Police Department serves the community. Graduates will be better educated on crime awareness and prevention, while at the same time, it will give the citizens an "inside look" at the Department. Topics will include crime prevention, CSO, criminal law, laws of arrest, use of force, and many more. This is an 11-week course, ... this program is FREE.<br /><br />(I wonder if students will get dossiers by enrolling?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7938933649493088489.post-89227305137529244812010-10-31T00:33:12.298-07:002010-10-31T00:33:12.298-07:00I always capitalize it.

With a small c it sounds like a generic reference to community, and thus not threatening.stanleynoreply@blogger.com
