Surfing the web I’ve found a post entitled "Principles of Civil Discourse" by Nathan Azinger on his blog – Pajama Jihad – (subtitled) Declaring a Holy War on Stupidity.
This is the only thing I’ve read on this blog so far but it struck me as something everyone should read and consider. Why? The success of representative democracy hinges on the ability of government to resolve disagreements in a fair and civil manner. It must seek public participation and respond in a way that encourages, rather than discourages, future participation. I’m not sure our current political climate – at any level – is doing a very good job of this right now.
