Burgess COMMENTARY
In the past few years courtesy of technology and social media it has become easier to write essays and have them distributed to a large number of people. However, this distribution of information and opinion has not resulted in very much improvement in the quality of the dialog ... and even more important, most people seem to be less well informed about important issues than they were in decades past.
