Watching the convention, and seeing delegates with their blackberries in hand, reading the text of their words to the convention strikes me as patently dangerous. What is to stop them from communicating in violation of the standing rules? Whatever scheme the committee comes up with, how is it going to be enforced any better than the current bylaws? My point is, I hope the cure isn't worse than the disease. I suppose I didn't voice it very well.<br /><br />JohannesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5728845570179741211.post-32126859137875581302010-07-16T08:05:29.970-07:002010-07-16T08:05:29.970-07:00By allowing its practice, we've already legiti...By allowing its practice, we've already legitimized illegitimate politiking.
