This site provides thoughtful, intelligent commentary on current events, including domestic politics, foreign affairs, cultural/ social / legal issues. Although this blogger states strong opinions on sometimes-controversial subjects, he makes a conscious effort to speak fairly. That means, in particular, REFUSING to misportray opposing points of view, stereotyping opponents, or "spinning" facts. In short, let's have an intelligent, thoughtful discussion, not an argument.

Whether you agree or disagree, in whole or in part, your comments are welcome but, please, make them intelligent and well-informed.
