 		[UPDATE] New Sentinel Article 06/06/05

Earlywine Visits Schools
By CORINNE HATHAWAY

Council member Nathan Earlywine has begun his campaign for Leader of the City Council in an unusual place -- grammar schools. "I want to go out and actually see how the education system is and is not working," he said, "and the only people who can truly tell me that are the students."

So far, Earlywine has visited five schools in three days. During each visit, Earlywine has himself taught a civics lesson, describing the ideals of freedom and responsibility that have shaped the city's government. He explained how his own experience interacting with the Council during his games year at the Academy formed his early political aspirations. His lecture concludes: "I just wanted to help make my city a better place to live, and you can help, too."

He has so far followed this lesson with an hour-long "City Meeting," where he encourages the students to share their ideas on improving the city and particularly the school system. Topics covered have ranged from school operating hours, the way after-school activities are organised, and the controversial role of technology in education. He has even taken suggestions on how to fight the illicit drug trade and foster more trade with other regions of the world.

"This is a very shrewd move," said political analyst Paula Coldwell. "Parents will feel warmly toward him for taking such a direct interest in their children, and it very much underlines how ... his hand-on management style is different from [Council Leader Camryn] Scott's rather remote delegatory style."

Scott herself could not be reached for comment on her opponent's campaign, but her spokesman, Kyle McForrester, pointed out that the election is still a very long way off. "Right now, Camryn is very busy doing the work of the government, which the citizens of Perplex City are paying her to do," she said. "It's much too early to start playing at politics."


He's a scary lookin' fellow! Not sure i'd vote for him...

 		At least there's definitely a "rest of the world" now...I wonder how much rest of the world. Mima's map is going to get a little bit bigger!

 		Glad that the Perplexians are as bombarded with ideological crap as the rest of us - 'freedom' and 'responsibility' are two wonderfully vague things to aim for within a society...and whether they can ever exist in tandem anyway is a bit of an open question (cue heated political debate here Smile)

 		I smell a hard-hitting, on-going series of "View from Earth" articles concerning our world's differing views of freedom, responsibility, and morality.

I really wish I had the time to put something together - I'm a bit curuious as to what my picture would look like. Wink
