This site is about the exchange of ideas. Ideas can be stimulating, boring, controversial, provocative or misguided. And can be wrong. We must always be ready to challenge them . Human knowledge moves forward in direct proportion to the number of minds working on an idea. So please contribute. Don't be afraid to put forward your ideas: I'll only interfere if comments are obscene or libellous. You'll also find my speeches on www.district2/ottawamasons.ca
