[Vision2020] Local Posters Make Good

[Tbertruss at aol.com]

Melynda:

V2020 can offer a forum for open debate on significant issues that effect 
Moscow and the Palouse, which in these times of increasing global and 
international interconnectedness, cannot be defined as they once were in neat conceptual 
boxes labeled "local," as opposed to "state," "national," or "international," 
etc.

Yet it seems even those who appear "open minded" and "progressive" dismiss 
the value of in depth debate.  Comments are made on V2020 ts that it does no 
good, no one is paying attention, it is boring, it is not appropriate for V2020's 
mission, short sound bite posts get the most readers, etc.  It is as though 
"liberals" have also been infected with a lack of interest in involved vigorous 
public debate.  Why bother, we all have our minds made up! 

Whoever runs this blog commenting so much on V2020 might consider posting to 
the list for debate just for the sake of their own education, if nothing else. 
 After all, Pat Kraut is not from the "Left," as far as I can tell, yet she 
is presented on this blog as though she is lumped in with the other "leftist 
intoleristas," or so it appeared to me.
