I have been neglecting this list, probably due in large part to my now six
month old son (the ultimate activist!).  If you would like to subscribe to
another list I find interesting (of course, keep your subscription to Think,
too!) check out Alternet.  Here's one of their mailings, which they send out
a couple of times a week - to subscribe, go here:
