Pythagorus is watching the school board meeting on the local access channel. He's also a city council junkie, but that's a different night. Since our internet is having a nervous breakdown and only one of our computers has internet access (except for Addie's laptop, and I'm not going there) and since Pythagorus isn't willing to move to one of the other seven televisions in the house, here I am. Sigh ...
But still, it's kind of interesting, and certainly a lot to think about ...
Do you think the meetings were different before they were televised? Is there more or less truth? Transparency? Is there something comical about the facade some (not all, but some) of these local politicians put on when they know the cameras are running?
Or am I just strange? (Wait, don't answer that :0) )
