[quote=Anonymous]It's a phrase you hear around major issues - Zimmerman verdict and race relations, Snowden wanting a national dialogue on the NSA programs, a national dialogue on childhood obesity. What does it mean other than giving media a given topic to discuss? And, who do you discuss it with other than your same circle of friends, acquaintances, and colleagues? I mean, I'm a 30-something white woman in the burbs, am I supposed to head over to a corner diner in Herndon and strike up a conversation with the day laborers hanging out there? Is a young black man from SE DC supposed to come knock on my door? Yes, these examples are flippant yet they also kind of illustrate my point which is how do you truly have a national dialogue that effects change?[/quote]
