A Question of Significance
Why The Denver Forum? Why a public forum that considers significant issues facing America?
Here's one answer:
In a recent survey of students at America's top 50 universities, 99 percent of those polled could identify the television cartoon characters Beavis and Butthead. Only 42 percent could identify George Washington, the first President, and one of the truly key figures in American history.
If that doesn't alarm you, it should. A democratic society is no stronger than the ability of its citizens to distinguish between what's important and what's trivial, what matters and what doesn't. George Washington matters. Beavis and Butthead do not (except as a negative commentary on what a stunning wasteland contemporary television has become).
What The Denver Forum accomplishes, through its programs featuring nationally prominent speakers, is to get real people thinking about real issues; issues that will affect the future course of America.
If you believe the consideration of such issues is in the public interest, then The Denver Forum is an organization you should join.
But don't delay. Do it today.
