Peter K, thank you for your thoughtful post. John on the Sunset Coast, while I often disagree with your conservative perspectives, I always appreciate that you articulate your positions clearly and rationally, and there have definitely been times when you have posted information that has given me pause, and sometimes widened my own paradigm. Even when that doesn't happen, you express your views in a way that that gives me greater understanding of what informs thoughtful people whose paradigms are very different from mine.

Thanks for all your years here of sharing your perspective and not letting the judgementalness of the attack dogs drive your voice away.
