And yes, it will probably conflict with the Republican debate.
Awww… can’t you get them to move their debate for you?
Fortunately, it’s not conflicting with the NFL opener on Thursday. There was some other thing scheduled for just before that but I forget what. Couldn’t have been very important.
Rand,
There’s a debate?
Jim,
It’s certianly not more important than the pregame shows.
“And yes, it will probably conflict with the Republican debate.”
And yes, it will definitely be more interesting.
Do be sure to get someone to record it for youtube.
The interview was indeed interesting. In fact, it even sparked debate amongst the audience. One of the differences of Second Life is that someone talking up front is not drowned out by people in the audience arguing,..when they are arguing in typed chat.
