<p>Bill, so great to reconnect with you. I certainly agree that these have been trying times for those of us who care about getting people into the civic conversational space. My feeling is that we have seen lots of good examples of civil civic dialogue (face-to-face and online) that, as it spreads, has the potential to revolutionize our overall public discourse.

Perhaps well-management civic participation processes will be the tonic we need to rebuild people's faith in government? </p>
