it has great potential for giving the people a voice, if, and only if, it isn't censored by some candidate's flack...
ever write an editorial and hope to see it in the paper and it's not... another opinion tossed and not heard...
ever try to talk to a candidate and recieve nothing but rhetoric...
it's hair-pulling, frustrating, "why do i even bother?" feeling of apathy...
if they post a blurb and show true feelings about their stance(s) they may actually read the responses...
one thing it may also show is the demographical differences throughout the country what they won't find on the back of a train, spending 15 minutes on a soapbox spewing "if i was president" blather...
i want to know that i've been heard and my voice has value...
i want honesty, (not some polished prose that "sounds good"), that has meat in its presentation... something i can chew on and respond to in kind...
(sheesh - i posted in politics... what's with that???)
