If the administration had a web site where passionate people who don’t agree with the president but voted for him anyway could voice their views and stump for their issue, could the mere act of hosting the space kindle a new era of trust in government, or would that community be a de facto opinion ghetto, kind of like the “Alternative Lifestyles” section in Blockbuster?
Like a little sign saying “Look here for marginal views.” To my mind it dimly but scarily resembles the Bush/Cheney whitehouse.gov circa 2004, where the Feedback section dumped anyone with criticism into an undifferentiated form-driven general email box.
