Thank you for the invitation. I'm looking forward to a little Pure Common Sense and a lot less Michael Jackson. I think our media has gone the way of the UK tabloids.

You always have something interesting to say. I've enjoyed all your posts. You have the ability to get me thinking. I might not always agree with you, but that's fine. Keep it up at least for another 100 posts.

Thank you for the thoughtful blog and I appreciate your request for a thoughtful response. I read your entry on the Pope and condoms. In my opinion, the Pope has run into a perfect storm of bad PR, unsolvable issues and questionable choices.
As Cardinal Ratzinger, he did not invite engagement. As Pope, the recent outreach to a Bishop with Holocaust-denying views without adequate research was more than unfortunate. I believe that the impact of that will color the perception of his comments for some time to come. While I do agree with the faults of the condom program and its practicality, I personally would like to see a discussion on tweaked it rather than scrapping it.

I've signed up and rated you and I hope you and others will find my blog thoughtful, too. http://apps.facebook.com/blognetworks/blog/american_diversity_report/
