Where is the middle?

On this anniversary of the most heinous terrorist act ever committed here in America, I ask you all: where is the middle?

Used to be that there were some nutcases on the outskirts of our society, and most people lived more or less in peace with and respect of each other. It seems to me that we are seeing more and more polarization in our daily dealings. Hard to have a civil society when people are taking sharper and louder sides on smaller and smaller issues. How many things we do every day "cause global warming" which will "sooner instead of later kill us all." Or something similar. AND: (Insert any right-wing fear-mongering here...)

Let's remember that all of "those people" are people, just like you. And me.

Another view of Global Warming

Just so we all understand that there really are two sides to the issue. Very succinctly and clearly presented. Hillsdale College does not solicit or accept money from the government (even student loans, I think) so they are not (my words) 'teaching under the influence of government.'

It's like a birthday

This is the inaugural entry of my blog, which intends to speak to and create a place of reason in today's increaingly angry and polarized world. We will discuss politics, religion, medicine, family, adoption and whatever else may strike my fancy. And yours.
