I wish someone would do a talk show hosted and moderated by a regular person with guest regular people from all over the country and every walk of life. It would be nice to hear what we have to say. Experts need not apply and the screening process should be minimal. The show's site should be located from the area of the regular people guest for that show. This would be an excellent vehicle for sponsors, politicians, city and state government to really how we feel.
