» Feature Writer Brian Tubbs - You herald dissent

In response to Look at what you did posted by Migisi:


It's interesting that you herald dissent. You think it's patriotic to stand up and speak truth to power. I agree. But if dissent is honorable, then civil discourse is also honorable - and indeed critical.

It's important, in a democracy, that the people be able to sit down and REASON together. If we ONLY listen to those with whom we agree, then we don't really have a democracy. We are instead living a lie.

We must listen to each other. We mustn't dismiss out of hand those with whom we disagree.
