OK, so this attempt at starting a civil discourse took a 12 month sabbatical…

I’m going to try again. I just read through the old posts, and it’s interesting that although the events that I commented on are a distant memory, not much has changed in our world.

Part of my motivation is to see if I can initiate and support a civil discourse around the upcoming elections. I’ve got opinions and biases. I admit it. And I’m hoping that I can sway the opinions of others through the use of effective dialog. I care about our country, and am concerned where we’re headed. I’m not going to stake my position out today, but I’d like to open the door for discussion. Feel free to comment here, or on my Facebook page, but let’s keep the discourse civil, informed, and respectful.
