David Fletcher remarks
Back in 2003, I mentioned that Portugal’s legislature had authorized the creation of weblogs for all legislators to promote better interaction with their constituents. Now, I’m more than excited to see that Utah Representative Steve Urquhart of St. George who is the majority whip has a weblog where he shares his thoughts on the legislative process.
In the same post Mr. Fletcher points to the Legacy Parkway Hotsheet, a blog to promote the development of new highway. While I, and many other constituents, wish our elected representatives were more informative, blogs, like any other on-line medium, can easily rise to the level of discourse exhibited at /.. Then again, I suppose that one must expect proponents or opponents of a thing to indulge in vicious name-calling and illogical invective as a matter of course. If you use generic slurs or pronouns, you should provide an antecedent every now and again so your reader knows who you are insulting. Links please.
