Another modest proposal...embrace the light.

It isn't enough to reject the shrill voices that sow anger and mistrust. There must be a replacement of the darkness with the light of those who take the time and care to frame issues in such a way as to promote honest and healthy dialogue and debate. Because of my policy in this blog of not "naming names", I will not give recommendations as to those voices in print and on the airways that do us all a great service by discussing the issues respectfully rather than making themselves the issues by attacking those who have differing views. Those voices of moderation and healthy debate are "out there". Look for them and give careful attention to both their tone and content. If we fill our minds with good things, we will not hunger for the bad.
