About the views expressed in this blog:
I try to remain free-thinking, open-minded, and sensible. If I get a letter in the mail defending the civil rights of a prison inmate who wants to write a book about how he killed somebody, I don't throw the letter in the garbage. I put it in the recycle box because why chop down another tree.
