I have amazing friends

[pecunium]

The Nielsen Haydens (Patrick and Teresa) Nielsenhayden.com keep an ecclectic sort of company, which means their blogs are a swell sort of salon, which means just about any conversational topic you can think of, can be discussed there with a fair amount of both passion, and reason. For that reason alone you ought to go read, and take part.

Last week Patrick posted a one sentence (with two links): An interesting answer. Matthew Yglesias argues with Mark Schmitt (see below).

The conversation (which was still going as of Saturday) started as a question about social justice, became focused on gay marriage and has in it a stunning example of fair mindedness and intellectual honesty; coupled with a splendid follow up of actual deeds.

Kudos to Dave Luckett

I didn't think a conversation could go that long on the internet without devolving to spitting vitriol and calling each other nazis. Amazing. Thanks for the link.

I sat and read that thread earlier this afternoon. It is indeed mostly excellent.
