The sad fact in the U.S. is that it isn't the people with thoughtful consistent opinions on important issues that have real impact on the politicians that get sent to Washington to tackle current problems. It is instead the easily swayed fickle "undecideds" that determine the powers that be.

This state of affairs makes the tools in this article extremely disturbing in the context of government contractors.

I was definitely thinking that facebook integration could really lower the barrier for people to use something like this. I've also been working on that piece of it.

Re:There is no talent on Sunday December 05, 2010 @11:42AM (#1971911)
