Adam suggested the X

eXtreme Democracy : While at the Rocking Personal Democracy Forum last Monday ( what is Personal Democracy ? scroll down ), I ran into none other than Adam Greenfield, at a PDF breakout session on "Extreme Democracy". The conference was notable but the book is a really great read on - well - the future of democracy. Edited by Jon Lebkowsky and Mitch Ratcliffe.

Well.

Maybe a front-page post (questionably qualified as such) will be enough to prompt Adam to prairie-dog.

joeclark hates America it would seem trout. [his own fpps are grand and eloquent missives containing nothing but the very best of the web (cough: stones, houses, etc.)]
