New Article on Politics with Perspective

My journal Politics with Perspective never took off. It's been sleepy for months! While it would have been wonderful to produce a thriving journal, I'm happy that it allowed me to vent my frustration about the pathetic state of political discourse.

I thought it was done and was planning to retire the journal quietly in a few months. That will probably still happen, but at least there's more content than I anticipated.   This week my colleague Heather Morrison, Project Coordinator for the British Columbia Electronic Library Network, sent me an essay for publication.

I've relaxed my 1,000 word minimum rule, which was intended to elicit thoughtful rather than knee-jerk essays.  Heather has accomplished that in just over 700 words.  Go over to Politics with Perspective and read her essay "Freedom Under Attack:  A Song, A Health Process, and Intellectual Property Law" when you have a chance.
