Welcome. Just like a similarly-named blog, this site is about social and political ideas that may be of interest to those on the Eastern Shore. Unlike that other blog, there are far fewer rules. Here we may discuss any social or political ideology we want to discuss. In that context, we encourage spirited debate of issues, but we strongly discourage personal attacks upon those who may post to this blog. That is, you may argue the merits of someone's post; you may even dissect the logic behind the comments, and comment on its soundness or lack thereof. But we ask that you refrain from calling people names just because you disagree with them. For the short term, at least, we're going to steal comments from integritymatternow.blogspot.com and respond to them, because the owner of the blog seems too timid to address or even read comments about the issues that he/she raises.
