So this is our class blog.  We will be using this weekly, if not daily.  Here I will create discussion boards for your participation.  This is a place for you to state idea and maybe even learn something!  Ha, what a concept.  I will usually post articles of interest for you to read and respond to here, as well as discussion questions for us to talk about.  Please remember to be respectful to your classmates.  Disrespect and mudslinging is one of the biggest problems with our governmental system and we will not duplicate that behavior here.  So, be honest, be passionate, but always be respectful!
