Thomas Jefferson said he would appeal from the people poorly informed to the people better informed –

… wherever the people are well informed they can be trusted with their own government; that whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them to rights.

THIS IS / IS NOT

This IS for open interaction. Let’s treat each other as relatively well informed (a la Jefferson) and relatively well-intentioned, and share our own thoughts, and listen to each other’s.  Eh? That’s a crucial fundament of democracy, and, certainly, of healthy Christianity.

This is NOT a commitment ahead of time from you to agree with what anyone might say – nor does it assume a commitment from them to agree with you.  Duh.  And it is certainly not a commitment from me to stop saying what I truly see, and believe to be crucial.

(You could open this page in two windows, so you can read the questions in one and make your comment-responses in another.)

Thank you in advance for thinking about such things, and for any thoughtful responses you make. This will be helpful to me as well as to all of us.
