Only posting because I promised...

I'm not sure what I think of this one-a-day thing. I feel that in our society people often like to talk too much but are bad listeners. I struggle with this a lot. I wonder how much of blogging is people talking without having a conversation since we're more interested in saying what we have to say than reading what others have to say. And the pressure to post often--to have something to say--makes it worse. For Rulablog it's been a while since I've had/taken the time to read some of the other Latin American politics blogs and see what they have to say. So it's like there's this isolation even though it's supposed to the the web. As I write this it's reminding me of my reflections about how the debate team shaped people's communication styles, but that's a topic for some other time. I'm going to eat.
