I read that Michael Nesmith is a trustee for the Gihon Foundation.

What is the Gihon Foundation?

Go to www.videoranch.com . The info is on that page somewhere, I think under
"About Nez".

You can read all about it at Videoranch under the section about
Nez.

ya know, i love the idea of the "council on ideas" -- the main thing, to my
understanding, that the gihon foundation does, but sometimes i just think
it's an elitist intellectual circle jerk were al sorts of ideas are bandied
about, good fooe is eaten and a lame statement of the obvious is produced.
he should invite some non-famous real people sometime.

you can also go to http://www.gihon.org

I am at the Ranch now and I cannot find any link to the foundation, but
I do see the boot on the window sill.

And you can't find it in any search engines?
How about trying the obvious:
www.gihon.com

I'm just assuming you have a frames-capable browser,
so go to the right of the Connection Corral on the icons
at the top and point your mouse on the branding iron
(it should say "All about Videoranch and Nez" in neon),
click on that, and scroll down until you see a link
to Gihon Foundation.

Dear r burbach. I couldn't agree with you more.

To my understanding, from my reading, that the Gihon foundation was
founded by Nez's mom. The "Council on Ideas" meets every 2 years,
consisting of famous people, Jane Alexander -being the most notable one
among them all.

The Council releases a mission statement. It is a very noble statement
to pass along, but IN MY OPINION, it seems unrealistic.

To put all the global problems on one canvas just seems too much to
handle. Starting small, let's say, within one's own city, or even just
community, would make a greater impact on society.

Yes, there is a big food spread and chit chat but I don't think the
ideas actually leave the room Everyone gets their 2 cents in and they
smile and leave.

Again, it is a noble idea. But it's the little people that make the
difference. And sometimes it takes a tragedy to change society and
impact laws ie Kendra's Law and Meagan's Law...

You are right r, us little people could really give the council a
hankering of ideas.

I think it would be interesting to have those of us who are just "regular
Joes" if you will, submit questions of our own for the council of ideas...
might prove to be a bit more thought provoking. :)

I don't think they'll listen. Considering the length of time that they
meet, it would be better if they just cover the broad spectrum of
problems, not just globally but also historically. If the Council was
meeting, for say, a month or two, I would see no reason why they
shouldn't consider at least looking at smaller, individual regions.
Your best bet into making a difference would be writing to who
represents your community because in my opinion it just gets political
when deciding who and where should take priority.

If you want to listen to the q&a of the recent Council of Ideas,
monkees.net has it in the Sing Along section. It's pretty amazing how
much they'll say to the reporters on just one question.

I took a trip over to the Monkees.net and I got lost. I think the
bright red opening page threw me. Exactly where do I find the sing
along section?

I think you have to use the vertical | scroll bar to find it when you
first get there.
