What is CIASP Diary?

Basic FAQs for "ciasp.blog.com"

The underlying principles of this CIASP Diary blog site are:

• CIASP Diary is the blog-site for Canadian CIASP/CEPIA members, but all international CIASPers and Amigos Anonymous are welcome.
• It's a site to post notes, observations, information, pictures and messages about the CIASP/CEPIA/CIPE experience in Mexico.
• It's a blog site for posting news, updates, notices or any information related to CIASP veterans or others connected to CIASP.
  
• There is no specific political or philosophical agenda associated with this site. CIASP was a student driven movement emerging out of 1960 youthful ideals. Our collective hopefulness bound us together, and any personal philosophical orientations were sublimated to our hope of making a difference. Forty years later, we judge those days against a lifetime of experience, — and realize that CIASPers represented a broader range of philosophies than we suspected in our youth. CIASP Diary is not committed to a single uniform philosophical viewpoint and is open to all former members.
  
• Anyone can respond to postings with short messages by clicking on the "post comment" link below every main posting. To minimize unwanted spam and commercial postings, a random key word is generated within blogger.com and must be entered before a message will be posted.

Responses do not appear until after they are screened, and will not be posted if they are offensive or irrelevant to CIASP. All comments will be posted unless they are offensive or represent a harmful intolerance.
