One of the most interesting aspects of our new online technologies might just be the advent of “blogs.” In this writer’s opinion, these websites are today’s equivalent of the town squares and cafes of yesteryear, where interested people discuss subjects ranging from aardvarks to zymurgy.

One local blog, greaterfalls.com, often discusses Great Falls politics, the weather and photos of geese. Today, however, it discusses what it means to be a Jew and a subject of common debate here, patrilineal descent.

I encourage you to take a look at the discussion, which can be found here.  If you think the subject interesting, you might also want to join the discussion by posting a comment!
