Still less powerful are the myriad of smaller community agents such as UCD and various civic associations. In real life, they seldom act entirely in concert with each other. And there is no mastermind, no 'Dr. No' scheming relentlessly to make every single unpleasant thing in town happen to you.
indeed, this is why focp has decided to go for one whole year without ucd money or agendas!

ROCK ON, FRIENDS OF CLARK PARK, YOU SMALL AND LESS POWERFUL COMMUNITY AGENT SELDOM IN CONCERT WITH UCD!!

I believe that's also the reason why Ray Rorke has decided to go for one whole year entirely without Penn money or agendas!

In truth, Friends of Clark Park has received little or no funds directly from UCD over the years. Like any sensible non-profit public works association, it is in the business of encouraging donors large and small to put their money into the park. FoCP has partnered with the Penna. Dept. of Agriculture, the Penna. Dept. of Conservation and Natural Resources, Citizens Bank, the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, the City of Philadelphia and University City District, to name just a few.

Each one of these grantors has an agenda, of course. A park support group's mission is to bring that agenda into line with the park's own agenda.

Precisely because there are so many players in this game, it is impossible for any one of their agendas to play the dominant role that paranoids crave for UCD. So yes, there is Dr. No for you here, Ray. Sorry!




hahaha thanks for brilliantly making my point, tony west!

it's just as you say: with so many players in this game, and with ucd being such a minor player, focp has decided to go for one whole year without ucd money or agendas. WOO HOO!

The Friends of Clark Park will play a large role in conjunction with the UCD in deciding what aspects of the park will be changed....
