Changing the terms of the debate.
Informed citizens are the key to democracy. The internet offers
an unprecedented opportunity for individuals to learn and share,
to access reference material, contribute ideas (create new
reference material!) and engage in dialogue.
I believe that today's dialogue is seriously constrained by the
language of yesterday -- the tired old categories of right and
left, conservative and liberal. These terms throw fuel onto the
flames of heated argument rather than informing serious debate.
We have real problems in this country, and in the world. Let's
take advantage of this new global communication medium to
reinvigorate democracy.
Here's my contribution: The Radical Center. I welcome yours.
