• What Colour Is the Village Green?

  
  Front Porch Republic — Authority: 131
  Often the politics of the local turns on the “who” as much as the “where.” Switzerland showed as much very recently.  The country enjoys some goodwill among the sort of people who read FPR.  It is one of the world’s oldest democracies, and by most standards, the most direct one.  Its citizens traipse to ...

  Front Porch Republic — Authority: 131
  Moorpark , CA .

  Alexandria — Authority: 150
  Co-blogger DSL forwarded to me the most recent piece by Dr. Atul Gawande. Gawande’s McAllen piece was an immediate must read for health care reform wonks.

  Front Porch Republic — Authority: 131
  Rock Island, IL Alexander Pope, who was right more often than the rest of us put together, said that “truth will buoy up at last.” That’s all well and good and true enough, I suppose, but the problem is that fools will also rise to the surface—as inevitably and precipitantly as farts in the bathwater. ...

  Peace Arena — Authority: 116
  A big part of the reason I haven’t been blogging much is that I just feel like I don’t have the ability or opportunity these days to do enough reading and research to post anything of value to the discussion.
