Change.gov Uses Google Moderator System

GMonkeyLouie writes "The website for President-elect Obama's transition team, Change.gov, has unveiled a section called Open for Questions, which lets users submit questions and vote them up or down, in an effort to let the collaborative mind produce the questions that are the most important to the American populace (or at least the web-savvy portion). The page is powered by Google Moderator. It was unveiled yesterday, and CNet reports that when they went to post last night, '159,890 had voted on 1,986 questions from 3,255 people.'"

    How dare people question the governments version of 9/11. Real skeptics only question random people on the internet!

    NIST has changed its story on how WTC 7 fell 3 times now. First it was, a quarter of the building was scooped out, then it was diesel generators and now it is "thermal expansion." In their latest report they admit that the first two explanations were BS, but now they expect us to trust them on thermal expansion. Of course their proof was done only as a computer simulation, which you can't see to verify it yourself and they did no physical tests or experiments on any of the metal used in WTC7 to prove the computer simulation.

    So, sorry for being skeptical of an organization that has asked me to trust them every time they change their story.

    Not just "nut jobs" are skeptibal of the governments version of events. Former high level CIA people such as Robert Baer and Ray McGovern, many former MI6 members, former Gov. Jesse Ventura, German Defense Minister Andres Von Bulow, members of the Japanese parliament have monthly speeches on this topic. Countless of credible people have asked for a new independent investigation of 9/11.

    If you could please explain Norman Mineta's testimony to the 9/11 commission to me I'd appreciate it.

    completely offtopic but `hoi' in `hoi polloi' is an article, therefore adding `the' is somewhat redundant :-)
