I just enjoyed an afternoon of lively and courteous debate, all from my desk when I really should have been working.

 It started when I clicked on one of my favorite political blogs just to see what was going on.   There was an issue I couldn’t help commenting on, and before I knew it, I was corresponding back and forth with about five different people.  Three hours went by like three breaths. 

I’m obviously not alone in this.  Solutions to the world’s problems are being hammered out on keyboards even as we speak.  I’m proud that North Dakota has so many people willing to blog about politics.  Positive change starts with ordinary citizens willing to go out on a limb. 

And now, back to the real world.  I have to get back to work.  Deadlines, you know.
