I think any process that helps to promote the free flow of healthy communication is greatly needed in all levels our society, not just political. Real communication must be forged through ongoing relationship and dialogue, not simple debate. It is more than a matter of disseminating information; it is also understanding the "why?". Too often we miss the context and larger picture because we take in information through our own prejudices and biases in a selective and narrow way. (Don't confuse me with the facts, I've already made up my mind!) Hopefully, this interactive site will help us not only to process information, but also how to to learn healthy and productive ways of communicating.
