Back from the dead.
All,
I just wanted to apologize to anyone that's emailed me in the last three weeks, I've been bedridden with extreme levels of illness, and was mostly incoherent for that time period. I wasn't really keeping to close an eye on things during this time, and didn't respond to emails like I normally would. But I'm back now and feeling fit as a fiddle. Just an FYI....
Thanks!

A thought on Civil Discourse:
“Democracy is a means of living together despite our differences. Democratic deliberation is an alternative to physical violence. It is predicated on the assumption that it’s possible to disagree agreeably, that it’s better to laugh than cry, that one can vigorously contest the positions of one’s adversary without questioning his or her personal integrity or motivation, and that parties to a debate are entitled to the presumption that their views are legitimate if not correct.” -Thomas Mann
