Subject: Balance – I love it!
I am so grateful for this forum of the Chatlist and for Gene who runs it. It is delightful (and sometimes madding!) to have a post about Bynum Front Porch right next to exhortations from the Left and Right.
What I love most, though, is the balanced statements of people like Roger Waldrop who asks us to consider why employees working(!) on Labor Day at McDonald’s might not understand English so well or why the flag needed attending to. And people like Taurus Balog, who asks us to consider the taken-for-granted benefits of government as well as government’s downsides. When I read this variety of opinions, I can find my own way through the muddle of politics that is Democracy (not necessarily “Democratic” either!).
When I read about Bynum Front Porch and services for sale or exhibitions/sales going on, I smile and am grateful to be living in such a diverse community. And of course, Dr. Dykers is always the Voice of Reason crying in the (not quite) Wilderness!
