So what's this blog about?

It's becoming common to allow people to post comments on websites. The site I often check for the latest news now allows readers to express their opinions. I can only read that stuff for a short while before I get tired of the tirades back and forth:

"Hey, littleman, you are a real idiot! Everyone knows McCain is in the pocket of big oil...",

"At least I'm a 'real' idiot, lostinthought. You are a ***** moron! Obama is going to ruin this county...", etc.

I've heard all back-and-forth namecalling rants I care to so I thought I'd like to see a site where opinions are expressed and considered and respected whether folks agree with them or not. A "market place" of ideas offered, traded, and accepted or rejected.

Why not?
