Welcome

Hello, and welcome to whoever is reading this (if anyone is). This blog is called Voice from the Middle because that’s what it is – the voice of someone tired by the partisan sniping, close-mindedness, and polarization that is sweeping the country.

Now I’m not Fox News – I won’t claim to be “fair and balanced”, because I’m not balanced; I tend to shift slightly to the left. What I can promise is to always be open for discussion. If you want to start a discussion in the comments or by email, I can promise that I will go in with an open mind, and that I will keep talking for as long as you want. I believe that reasoned discussion and debate, where both sides are open to changing their minds is the cornerstone of any democracy, and one that is being replaced by mere partisn shoutfests. Here’s hoping I’m wrong.
