Information
| Blog Name: | Reasonable Minds |
| Url: | http://reasonableminds.wordpress.com |
| Language: | English |
| Topics: | Arts and Letters, Civility, Public Policy |
| Description: | This blog is a modest effort to redeem our political and cultural discourse from incivility, partisan caricature, and intentional impasse. It began as an effort to address the increasingly gratuitous nastiness of our national policy debates, but other important elements of our shared culture and intellectual life are discussed here as well. The hope, however, is that anything discussed here will be discussed with civility and mutual respect. Opinions can be stated forcefully without being offensive. Ideally, the posts and comments here should all stimulate further discussion. |

Justice, with Humility, Gentleness, and Civility
We are all here today to ask the Holy Spirit to set our hearts on fire with a passion for the justice of God’s reign.

As we live our lives in the law, are we being faithful to our more fundamental vocation to live out our identity as God’s beloved children, called to give flesh to God’s love in our world?

The Decline and Fall of the New York Times (Cont’d)
I often think the Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto is too hard on the people he targets for criticism — an occupational hazard for someone who brandishes a poison pen as well as he does. Not today. Not when his target is the New York Times. Attaboy, James. Posted in Hermeneutical Generosity, Media [...]

Found and Lost?
Forgive me if this is old news, but I’m just hearing about the legal dispute between Odyssey Marine Exploration, Inc. and the government of Spain. In case anyone else has missed this story so far, the dispute is about who owns $500 million in gold and silver coins that Odyssey Marine retrieved from the bottom [...]

No Such Thing as a Free Colonoscopy (Continued)
Ezra Klein’s “analysis” piece in the Sunday Washington Post doesn’t go into a lot of detail, but it’s worth a read if you’re puzzled by the fact that so many people are clamoring for health care reform while insisting that nothing change. Klein hits the nail on the head when he makes the point we’ve [...]

The Chief Cause of Excellence
"I maintain that Liberty is the chief cause of excellence; but it would cease to be Liberty if you proscribed everything inferior."
