I like to ride the trains

I got into some "comment" exchanges on the relatively new Stony Brook Press website. My buddy Sam is an editorial alum of that august student news-paper, and I think maybe even a professional journalist (I really should keep better tabs on the peoples). Sam has posted several "blog entires" and an "exclusive web content" article about the New York City public transit labor unrest on that site, and I, filled with civico-journalistic enthusiasm, lept (largely ill informed) into the fray. The article contains Sam's most complete appraisal of both the strike and the news coverage of same, most of the conversation is currently in his blog postings "STRUCK! Day 1" and "STRUCK! Day 2". They are linked off of the article.
