Information and American Democracy pt II

The part about the Million Moms March was extremely interesting, in that the protest went so well, and that they were able to get so many people, but they pretty much all went their separate ways afterwards. You'd think if their task was so important, they would keep going to further their cause. It does prove that causes don't need money and unlimited power to succeed, though, as if that were the case, the NRA probably would have silenced them pretty quickly. Also, as I was living in Minnesota during the Jesse Ventura election, it was interesting to hear Bimber's thoughts on it. He certainly did a great job utilizing the different technologies to get elected governor, it really did come out of nowhere. Nobody thought he had any shot, but suddenly he somehow win.
