Catch up and
join up with opinions, news and insights from real people.
Yes, people with jobs, mortgages, no notoriety. All types of politics and cultural values. The best difference is
our guidelines that foster civil, thoughtful debate instead of vitriol, venom and spleen amongst our contributors.
Sure there are tons of blogs out there but most aspire to the punditry which we do not. We aren't in it to get rich or get noticed (although reading visitors
ARE nice).
We want to develop a model of *
average* Americans (
and our participants tend to be way above any "average") stating common sense opinions. Not the emotionally charged flame throwers that comment at Huffington post or the Red State blog. Not rich lawyers and media insulated pundits nor academic fossils or intemperate wailers.
This week we've discussed; a
strange metamorphosis, education
costs and bureaucracy, use of
language in the culture, a claim that "culture changes" and
we should just accept it and a couple of book reviews.
We aren't read too widely but if you want some person in the street, real American's views you should
check it out.
