Quick aside:

We all have subject-positions, and the greatest integrity comes from being upfront about our own.

Here on CoSo, we have folks who are hawkish, folks who are pacifist, & pacifists who own guns. We have spiritual folk, hardcore religionists, & atheists. We have conservatives, liberals, & leftists.

I am firmly secular humanist. My advocacy is always pro-democracy and pro-human agency.

I don't *want* to be everyone's cup of tea.

I want everyone to feel free to steep as they choose.
