Buzzword
I understand the concerns regarding this term as a buzzword, but I'm convinced that enough organizations and mission statements refer to it to warrant definition as a unique term. A Google search for the exact phrase returns over one million appearances of the term on the Internet. I've added external links to the most prominent organizations that consider the philosophy to be part of their mission statement, and I've referred to concerns about the term's "buzzword" status within the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skeejay (talk • contribs) 02:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Comment
The following quote was in the reference section without being liked to content in the article. I move it here for your information:
Let's all be on guard against inactive citizenship and its evil twin reactive governance. May we all act in ways that appeal to our better angels. It's a settled fact that, over the whole wide world; unemployment is rampant. Carnage from ecological catastrophes' is unfolding. Is it possible for proactive citizens to mobilize their common labor towards institutionalizing the fight for beating back these challenges? (Citizens Council)
