2011-12-11: Blogging

The December issue of the Foreign Service Journal has a good article on blogging in the Foreign Service.  I’ve recently experienced some of the conflicting messages discussed in the piece and it resonates strongly to my beliefs in an open Republic balanced with a clear and uniform message. There is no simple solution and investment in lively discussion is a worthwhile endeavor.  Sounds like a topic for another blog!  In the end my libertarian streak won’t let me pull the plug despite several temptations to do so.  Thankfully there are others who feel the same way.
