I am removing the tag of ‘politics’ from my blog.

This blog is not about politics. It's about citizenship and how we can be the best citizens possible. Politics is about power and the machinations behind government; that's not what this blog is about. This blog is about empowering ordinary people to be strong citizens in their community.

What is citizenship? Citizenship is the public act of integrity within a larger community. Our species no longer lives in small tribes, we are no longer bands of 15, 50, 100 people. We live in nations of hundreds of million.

In order to successfully function as a society, we need proactive citizenship. We need to care about politics and influence politics. It is our privilege, it is our right, it is our responsibility and our duty to be strong, engaged, informed citizens to govern our society together. Through strong citizenship we create a society of equity, justice, openness and freedom.
