As I scroll through diary after diary I am amazed at the number of truly knowledgeable and well-spoken diarists and commenters. What's even more amazing is to find them on frequently on opposite sides of an argument. But locating these diaries--and even more, the comments--is incredibly hit-or-miss. (Tagging helps!)
This would be a huge research project, but I wonder if all these gems could be gathered together and published in a political handbook. (Actually, it would likely expand to cover much more than just politics, but we'll leave it at that for now.)
Possible chapters:
Health Care
Education
Energy
Voting Reform
Journalism and Media
The Constitution
The Rich
The Poor
Labor
What else?
Each is a specialty. Seldom are the links between each explored. Establishing cohesion between these subjects and their affects on Americans, and humanity as a whole, would be difficult.
But the knowledge is here. The writers are here. The skills are here.
