The "neo-cons" you speak of might be an aberration but I think Brin-L is poorer for their absence. There is only so long you can be interested in preaching to the choir. I'm mostly a lurker myself. I rarely, if ever, have much to add to the discussion. But I learn a lot from what I do read. I miss the exchange of radically different ideas. I may not have agreed with much (or anything) that some of them said but I enjoyed listening to their arguments and getting insight on how their minds work. Back in the run-up to Gulf War II, I had my mind largely changed by the debates between Dan and others. - jmh CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information or otherwise protected by law.
