This ping list is not author-specific for articles I'd like to share. Some for perfect moral clarity, some for provocative thoughts; or simply interesting articles I'd hate to miss myself. (I don't have to agree with the author 100% to feel the need to share an article.) I will try not to abuse the ping list and not to annoy you too much, but on some days there is more of good stuff that is worthy attention. I keep separate PING lists for my favorite authors Victor Davis Hanson, Lee Harris, David Warren, Orson Scott Card. You are welcome in or out, just freepmail me (and note which PING list you are talking about).
"Though generally healthy for a society, this competition can be quite dangerous if we lose sight of the fact that there is a far greater divide between the world of freedom and the world of fear than there is between competing factions within a free society. If we fail to recognize this, we lose moral clarity."
"A country that doesn't respect the rights of it's own people will not respect the rights of it's neighbors."
I can't recommend this book highly enough! One of the best things I've read this year. A clear cold eyed, yet optimistic look at what's going on in the world.
