Comments are running as high as August temperatures this week. Douglas McGill’s article on the Oromo people of Ethiopia and politicking in Minnesota triggered lots of comments, ranging from “Genuine integrity to the truth” to “rubbish eyegougeing lie.”

“Remember: Follow the ‘White Rabbit’!”

Our invitation to you: join the fun by adding your comments to the mix!

Most traditional watershed materials are produced for a literate, English-speaking audience and may miss important populations.” MORE »
