I for one am more apt to make my views known if I'm fairly confident people with influence are paying attention to what I say. In fact, thinking I might be influencing society is a big motivator for me to participate on discussion boards. To your knowledge, do any politicians or media people monitor, have staff monitor or even participate on this discussion board?
I'm not 100% sure but I very much suspect one thread I started here ended up being the subject of a congressional debate. Why do I think this? :lol: I sometimes bring up stuff nobody else is talking about or are even aware. Then if a couple of weeks go by and the very conversation you started here is on the evening news then...just maybe. I've only seen a few possible topics I've started but more probable, just coincidences the topics of cable news shows. I've had a lot of similar apparent traction elsewhere even seeing stuff I've said quoted on major news programs and campaign speeches but I was eventually asked to leave and never come back. :lamo
Anyhoo, is anyone aware of politicians, their staff, pollsters, pundits, major bloggers or media people making Debate Politics a part of their public barometer routine?
