Let me then ask the awkward question, which was the root of my conflict with Libertarians: What do you mean by “rational discourse?” For me, “rational” means “maximal use of available data” by being: 1. clear about assumptions 2. excited to explore logical consequences of beliefs 3. hungry for better data 4. readinesses to adapt beliefs based on better information I have painfully learned that this is not always what others mean, and would prefer to not make that same mistake. :-) Love, Ernie -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
