Can we Afford to Reject Conflict in Ukraine?
by Bart Binning
The concept of what became America’s participative democracy began to be discussed over 400 years ago, at a time when the world tended to accept that hereditary feudal lords and the divine right of kings as a requirement of prosperity and security, and the benefit of the prosperity and security was only for the nobility. The ideas of liberty, justice, and opportunity for all was considered foolhardy, and the concept that governments derived their power from the consent of the governed was considered unworkable and contrary to human nature.[1]
While the framing of the story of America was based on those powerful ideas, and those ideas ultimately spread through the world and “transformed our beliefs about human possibility”[2], it is also arguable that our founding fathers did not really believe in the totality of the ideals promoted. For example:

Rotary Dues Increase - Jan. 1, 2023 - A Message from President Wes
Fellow Rotarians,
At the Sept. 27 lunch meeting, we shared some news about a conversation that began over two years ago. Prior to the pandemic, it was clear to our administration committee, budget committee, and board of officers and directors that a dues increase would be necessary for the club to maintain a balanced budget. With the arrival of the pandemic, we were able to delay that conversation. As we’ve seen a return to normal club operations, meetings, and service, we’ve also seen an increase in almost every expense of the club due to inflation and we were forced to revisit the conversation. At the recommendation of our administration and budget committees, the 2021-2022 board of officers and directors approved a dues increase of $15 per quarter, or $5 a month, effective January 1, 2023.
