Value Statement: When we endeavor to abide by the commonly agreed to rules of reason and when we share common values and a world view that promote the common good and the public interest, we can participate in an open discourse that seeks to define common values and a public interest that serves us all. Not an easy task, we can agree, but one that is necessary to our survival as a community.
Our common purpose here is to share ideas and build knowledge that helps us define common ground and a common vision for civic engagement that seeks to solve todays public policy challenges.
This blog, and the website that sustains it, are dedicated to this common purpose.
Key belief: When we share a common purpose and abide by the basic rules of reason, our words, our story, our discourse will stand by themselves and can be independent of ego, identity, credits or ad hominem considerations. That is why this blog is devoid of a “persona.” It stands on the merits of what we say and share here. You take away from it mostly what you invest in it.
