Welcome to ThusSayethMe.com. As signs at construction sites often say, please excuse our mess. This site is, in fact, under construction, so right now it lacks eye appeal and any semblance of pzazz. It’s coming.
But there are no walls to be put up here. Our purpose here is rather to take down some of the walls that separate Americans from each other and, to a disturbing and increasing degree, from the rest of the world. Walls that fence us in as a society. Walls we hide behind instead of facing painful realities. The artificial wall between science and religion. The walls of slogans and platitudes that we often erect because that’s more convenient than honest, productive debate.
Sometime very soon some posts we consider worthwhile and relevant will be appearing here. We’ll have a log-in set up for those who want to reply.
You know all the disclaimers: Any post or reply here represents the opinions of its author only, we reserve the right to delete or edit as we deem appropriate, we intend the content to be factual and honest but cannot guarantee its accuracy.
THIS IS IMPORTANT: ThusSayethMe.com is dedicated to promoting dialogue and reducing polarization. Posts and replies that resort to name-calling and labeling are discouraged, and are likely to be deleted. Was it Abraham Lincoln who said mud thrown is ground lost? There may be an exception to that truth when a society deteriorates into one giant mud wrestling match, in which, ultimately, everyone eats mud and no one gets to stand on firm ground. America has come too close to that already.
