So, did class make things a bit clearer on the PPFPE front?

The only thought that comes to mind is making people more comfortable with each other. Maybe this could be done by encouraging more social meetings through community events at a local park or community center. If neither of those is present, possibly a huge neighborhood block party. I don’t really know for sure. My neighborhood as well as most others I assume just seem to get together well. Kids are a big factor in this because they bring families together without seeing the lines that may be present amongst the older crowds. As a result, events that promote children interaction may help bring the community together faster by encouraging social interaction between the older more potentially politically active parents.

Any ideas about how to create the sort of cohesiveness you mention?

In general these tactics are only successful in some communitities, but the only thing that makes them special is their ability to gather support both within and outside of their area. It seems like the areas where these strategies don’t work are the areas where there isn’t enough community cohesiveness. Not everyone is fully informed on the issue, or not everyone cares about the issue and so the community is weakened in their efforts to combat a takeover by some company.

Do you see these strategies as generally successful or successful only in particularly special communities?
