“… freedom of speech is the key issue in protecting a free society. Once we cannot communicate
freely, the game is up. Since the Internet is near to being transformed from a mechanism of
freedom into the ultimate weapon for control, a turn-key totalitarian state is almost available…”
- historian Scott Powell, “Taking a DIM View of the World — And Why Everything Depends On It”

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
