Who Needs Reality, Anyway?

It may be true that I am here in DC while a few of my other colleagues are in Chicago getting ready for the special YearlyKos panel we organized for tomorrow morning, Global Poverty: Creating Leadership for a New Foreign Policy, but what does a few hundred miles actually mean these days anyway? Thanks to YearlyKos in Second Life (YKSL), I am able to engage the “netroots” for ONE from here—or just about anywhere actually. More importantly, though, is that the attendees I am engaging can also be from anywhere, making the outreach possibilities nearly unbounded by geographical location.

Like ONE’s outreach in general, ONE engages with bloggers on all sides of the blogosphere, progressive and conservative. As we constantly repeat, some issues are just too important to play politics with.

Also on display at YKSL is the specially scripted ONE Console, giving away free ONE items and telling attendees how to get involved with ONE not only in their first life, but also their second one.
