"I'm fascinated by the social network and how it could lead to a bonding of members. It's interesting that just one person might be able to connect with another to form a relationship that could lead to a change in our community. Anyone can elaborate on a subject and in a short time will strike up a conversation that could lead to something positive. It's not backroom talk, it's open and up for criticism. It reminds me of a laid back Tim Russert roundtable conversation." -Rizzo
