When the best don't rise to the 'top'



"It is not in the nature of politics that the best men should be elected. The best men do not want to govern their fellow men."
~ George E. MacDonald (early 20th-century editor of the Freethought paper Truth Seeker), from the collection Fifty Years of Freethought

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 or off topic. 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.
