Join the conversation

This newsletter and my writing here is meant to provoke conversations. The best of writers can only tell half the story; it takes readers to tell the other half. Written commentaries on current social and political events these days are more plentiful than funny farts in a kindergarten class — and not as entertaining. It takes a little time and labor to moderate the online conversation here at Moral Dilemmas. That is why I request as many conversation partners as possible to become paid subscribers. Thank you. - Rollie Atkinson
