Another Conversative Perspective Worth Reading

www.professorbainbridgec.com

Again, anyone who knows me will realize what my political views are. More importantly, I believe it is important to read for yourself the views expressed by those you agree with and especially those who you may disagree.

I came across Professor Bainbridge's blog completely by accident. I was reading reviews on alternative history books by Harry Turtledove. One of the reviews stuck out from the rest I had read up to that point which was written Professor Bainbridge. I went on to read some more of his reviews on corporate law texts and decided to visit his blog.

Good reading & writing. Agree or Disagree, what is important is to have each side of each side of each issue be presented in a thoughtful, coherent, rational and objective fashion (at least, as objective as possible). I always try to find the good arguments for each side of our political issues. Not the usual three to five paragraph op-ed piece, but actual arguments with references, footnotes, and original sources of data cited. Naive...I know.

Each side of our various political debates seems to be dominated by the Uber-Partisians. It is time for the name calling, baiting, sound bytes, half-truths, and electioneering to cease and time for serious thoughts, debates, and discussions on the serious topics facing our respective nations.
