Education via blog Up until now, my thoughts written on this page concerning the war have relied on my limited knowledge of history and current events. I read (or at least scan) the New York Times daily as well as CNN.com . Before Crossfire switched to its new ridiculous 4:30 p.m. time slot I watched it on a daily basis. NPR is cemented into position on my radio dial as well. So, yes, I may know a tad more than others who aren’t staying abreast in any fashion, or just reading their local papers, but I am not the best educated on the matter, by far. In addition, I have always been distrustful of the media and government, always prefacing comments to coworkers with “from what our media/government tells us,” etc. A co-workers blog is beginning to educate me and confirm my aforementioned long-held mistrust, which was largely borne from what I learned in J School at CU. Kudos to you, Jeff, for your extensive research, voracious literary appetite and impressive intellectual capacity. I may not agree with all of Jeff’s political statements, but the man is well read.
