Bari,

Where we reside on the pendulum’s movement only History will reveal. Your mention of Alexsandr Solzhenitsyn in an early commentary magnifies our dilemma. If people do not care to read the books and stories or listen to the tales, they will never understand the depths of our collective paths. The depth of the past is part of our present and future.

If mobs burn the books and destroy the monuments, they cannot destroy the depths of our collective understand/souls. Carl Jung had his moments. A searing analysis of all opinion/dogma/propaganda based on one’s value system is critically important and must be an essential part of one’s existence.

It is extremely painful to read and listen to the other sides everyday but knowledge and understanding only comes from viewing the opaque light and critically weighing it through your understanding of your life’s goals and dreams .

You present a value system worthy of emulation and continued development. You and Andrew Sullivan have walked on coals, as have others at other news media .

I applaud your courage.
