A lot of people criticize the primaries, but I think they are absolutely essential to the education of the President of the United States. Pierre Salinger
So I think that, yes, anything that makes it more palatable and easier to understand, such as a Virtual Centre, has to be seen as a primary activity within the educational and information global state. Richard Rogers
