As many of the commenters on your site have been saying, it was a great post, one that certainly deserves to be widely disseminated.<br /><br />I was most impressed by the way you put it together by reading the comments in an open discussion forum.

I learned a tremendous amount from them last year. <br /><br />In my ongoing conversations with young women, comments by the men come up again and again. Although the blog serves as the conduit, there really is critical information being shared across the gender divide. I hope some will find it helpful.Susan Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01984275712518966508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078379512095504946.post-84879318443128699062011-01-04T10:28:31.087-08:002011-01-04T10:28:31.087-08:00TO: David

RE: The 'Open' Market...TO: Dr. Schneiderman<br />RE: The 'Open' Marketplace of Ideas<br /><br /><i>At a time when many of our more liberal friends are trying to tar the marketplace of ideas as a bad thing that needs regulation, if not censorship....</i> -- Stuart Schneiderman<br /><br />It's not just our 'liberal' friends who practice censorship. I'm familiar with a number of so-called 'conservative' friends who will 'kill' you for the open discussion of ideas. That is if they don't agree with those ideas. Mention my name to Amy Alkon. But stand out of sputter range.<br /><br />I think I've mentioned it before in other topical items on this blog.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chuck(le)<br />[A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce or a tragedy, or perhaps both.
