These posts have introduced us to countless blogs we’ve had never heard of…. and they showcase a rich variety of consequences – some unexpected – that have resulted from the intentions of actions taken in media and education programming
Thank you, sir. Agree with above, lots of good reading it seems.
I always look forward to Lightning Rounds. Thanks!
Thanks for the linkage.
