Come on in, the water's fine.

Well, against the better advice of those who've gone before him, local activist and political trouble-maker Marc Stier has decided to start a blog. It looks and smells like a blog, although the initial entries are less about linky goodness and topical commentary than they are longer essays of a philosophical sort. I'm a great admirer of Stier, who can be motivational to work with while having a realistic view of what can and can't be done in the environment and with the leverage at hand -- I look forward to seeing how this undertaking evolves.
