I'll save those details until next week. Preview: http://blog.e-democracy.org/posts/101 Last evening something horrible happened in my hometown, one of the country's the busiest bridges across the Mississippi River collapsed in Minneapolis. I'm fine. My family is fine. I don't know if I know anyone, but everyone here knows this could have been them. E-Democracy.Org has put up a wiki to highlight news, videos, photos and more about the I-35W bridge collapse: http://pages.e-democracy.org/35W Like the London bombings and the Tsunami, citizens with cameras, mobile phones, blogs, etc. are sharing their first-person perspectives. Our forums, and other places are also serving as important places for discussion. We will be increasingly relevant as people analyze what happened and decide what to do next (despite lots of river bridges, this essentially cuts a million people to the north off from a 3 million person metro-area - that is what will take a couple of years to reconnect). Talk to you soon. Steven Clift E-Democracy.Org DoWire.Org P.S.
