This is just a collection of things I’ve written, often in response to something in the news, on social media, or a conversation. Sometimes just thoughts that popped into my head. Because this collection is stretched across time, I may no longer believe something that I have here. In some cases, I may never have believed what I wrote – it might have been a thought exercise.
I will endeavor not to insult or criticize in my writing. My goal is not to belittle those with whom I disagree. Rather, I hope to explain why I think what I think, and to point out facilities that I see. I will try to allow very open commenting, but would ask that those who comment try to avoid ad hominem attacks. Always assume that those who have different opinions than yours are sincere in their beliefs, though you may think that they are misguided. So guide them in the way you see the world, don’t insult them for not being there yet.
