Those Of Us With A Microphone Who Are Blessed With The Gift Of Being In The Public Eye Have A Special Opportunity To Give Voice To All Those Groups Whose Activism Is Sometimes Ignored Or Put On The Back Pages With The The Dumbing Down Of Television And The Tabloidization Of Journalism.

I Would Love To See A Revival Of What We Had Against The War In The '60s - We Could Do These Teach-ins On The Internet, Live And Split Screen, And Have Real In-depth Debate Between People That Are On The "other" Side Of Issues - Nuclear, Gun Control, Whatever. We Could Really Be Having A Much More Democratically Involved And Exciting Debate With People Emailing Their Questions And Having A Virtual Town Meeting.
