I plan to write an irregular series of essays as needed, outlining philosophical
and theoretical issues that have an effect on our community and beyond.
Because of the complexities of the issues, some of these essays are not going
to be easy reading. Once I have them finalized, I will write summaries in
down-to-earth language that anyone can easily understand.
For now, I hope to put them out there to correct misunderstandings which
arise in the course of the debate.
I hope these help shape and focus the debate for you and nourish your thinking
on these matters as we move forward. As always, comments are welcome.
