The whole point of free speech is not to make ideas exempt from criticism but to expose them to it.

Anytime, Mike

A few years ago, my friend Mike Sanborn invited folks to join him in committing posts to public scrutiny on his blog, Decorum Forum. I and Bill Fleming applied, were accepted, and made topic posts until Bill withdrew a year or so later. I have continued to post from time to time, and Mike's participation became thinner and thinner. I grasp that a person's perceived contributions to the public good might wane. It's a function of ego that I have outlasted Mike and Bill.

Jump back onboard anytime, Mike. that goes for anyone else who wants to post a topic here, although Mike has access and the rest of you don't, except by emailing me at newland@rapidcity.com. Send me what you want to say, and I'll decide whether I want to let you say it here (I welcome stuff that opposes most public policy).
