We do, because of the Internet and its intersection with business, law and people. All one has to do is read the newspaper to know it is true.

February 8, 2012 - 3:51am
A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to discuss a proposed and relatively dramatic policy change with someone fairly high in state government. I objected to the change with some vigor, and outlined several objections that I thought added up to a compelling case. She listened politely, and then gave an answer for which I hadn’t prepared.
