This post certainly has breadth. Dale - Thank you for saying your part out loud, and anchoring it to a local action. Reasonable people can argue policy all day long, but the shift in world order has to be widely acknowledged. I rely on the Sebastopol Times to tell me what's happening and provide me with enough information to understand reasonable differences in points of view.

Today, you have clearly distinguished Times editorial philosophy from meaningless "bothsidesism." It's important. It matters.

Thank you Dale.

Whatever one thinks of what Carney said, and how that differs from our current policy shifts, it’s important to compare his speaking skills and intellectual clarity to how our rambling egomaniac organizes his thoughts… wow.

I loved the comments by Dale. I could not agree more.

Well said, Dale. I join you in saluting Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and his brilliant Davos speech about democracy, leadership and “value-based realism”.

Thank you for telling these stories; the rose between two thorns for the solidarity social story.

The author of a book of fiction about our times would likely be rejected as too improbable.

Our rupture, with no medics in sight…
