Polemics at The Blue Door

Sorry I didn’t write anything last night, folks.  Well, actually I wrote quite a lot, but on Mrs. Chili’s blog.  We are enjoying a stimulating exchange of political ideas on this post,  including what will surely be the longest comment I’ll ever write.

(I was a bit embarrassed at the length this morning.  I should have written it on a separate page, and then posted a pointer to it.)

I never enter a political back-and-forth thinking I can change anyone’s mind.  I do, however, enjoy the disagreement as a stimulus for critical thought.  I think we’re accomplishing that effectively.
