discussion
Just wanted to share a great list-serv with discussions on commuting, whether by bike or foot or public transportation. Discussions range from homages to injured community members to pending laws and legal issues to strategic routes in our local area.

I personally have nothing to do with this list-serv. I rely upon it for much insight, discussion and information for alternative transportation in the local area.
The Carrboro Cybrary and Carrboro Recreation & Parks present “Presidents, Politics & Power: American Presidents Who Shaped the 20th Century.” Each week we will be viewing a film that provides a presidential biography and opens up a discussion of our nation’s leaders. The presidents included in the series are: Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan. Following each film, Dr. David Zonderman, a history professor at NC State, will lead us in discussion and answer questions. You can pick up a packet of short essays at the Cybrary that will help inform the discussion. Come learn about the impact of past presidents before voting in a new one this year. This program is made possible in part by a grant from the North Carolina Humanities Council, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Preview the series by viewing the first video online via NC Live! Log in to NC Live from the Cybrary’s website and go to the new NC Live Media Collection. Click on TR: The Story of Theodore Roosevelt, Parts 1 & 2. Then, come join us in the Century Center for another viewing and discussion on Monday, January 28th.

Chris Richmond, Executive Director of the ReCYCLEry, and I have launched ReCYCLEry.info to publicize the ReCYCLEry and its partners' community programs such as the newly launched Blue Urban Bike program and Carrboro Greenspace.We have tentatively decided to keep the contributors limited, and leave the conversation to more comprehensive forums such as OrangePolitics. Theoretically, we may limit return traffic to the site, but this will leave us more time for real world activism, and keep the site a resource for pure information, media and community links.So we pose these questions: Should we attempt to encourage more online activism by creating a new forum? or Do we still manage to fully engage our objectives by leaving debate and editorial content elsewhere?
