1) Respect all people and their perspectives
No insults, condescension, character assassination, or cheap shots. You will not find me citing the latest scandal to discredit my political opponents. Nor will I defend everything a Republican or self-proclaimed Conservative says or does. I will make a distinction between principles or ideals and the people that espouse them.
2) No sensationalizing
If facts and reason are not enough to support a position, no gimmicks, fear-mongering, or straw-men will help. This doesn't mean I won't broach controversial topics; but I will do so with sensitivity to other viewpoints.
3) There is no final word
No one knows all the answers; as the subtitle suggests, this blog is about "discovering" the best path forward. I will present my ideas and opinions; some of them will be deeply held beliefs. But I can always change my mind, and I fully expect to in some instances.
