Our prayers are with those affected by the tragic events in Arizona. Project Logic GA has always supported a sensible political and policy debate and fostering a bridge over the divide-that’s why there is a bridge on the homepage. Normal people can have a spirited and at times mischievous debate but we know that sick minds might take it too far do the unthinkable. This is not a game.
It’s an appropriate time to read some past blog post that relate to having a less toxic discourse in the political arena—so help us God. People often ask congressional staffers if they served our country–referring to military service. Gabe Zimmerman died serving our country.
