Our local newspaper put together a bunch of people of different political affiliations into a “sounding baord” of issues and topics that are relevant to those who live in this nation, state and on West Puget Sound in particular. After the Obama nomination speech and their “live blog,” only the 30+ Republican side bothered to show up. After the fact, I was invited to join as an ultra-liberal student to give youth and some much needed balance.
I’m not sure how I really feel about this.
