Short version is, I like the idea of discussing without attacking. I have been guilty of ranting and blaming the "other" side, especially when I feel so passionately about such an important issue (ie; healthcare reform). I saw your comment on NYTimes article "Health Care that Works" by Kristoff, and was curious about your website. No solution is going to come from people screaming at each other, and screaming left vs. right, liberal vs. conservative. We are not in an "us vs. them" game. We need change and we need real reform...something that benefits us all. It is frustrating when people fail to reason and go immediately to their default positions of attacking one another. Again, people are easily provoked when they feel their value systems are being attacked. I have been trying to make sense of this issue for the last 2 months, and have always been a big fan of reform. However, it has been a series of soundbites and ambiguity, to the point where I am wondering if anything is going to end up happening at all. I did some of my own research (not comprehensive at all, and still working on it).
