Site Comment Policy:

Comments are welcomed and encouraged on this site, but there are some instances where comments will be edited or deleted as follows:

  • Comments deemed to be spam or solely promotional in nature will be deleted. Including a link to relevant content is permitted, but comments should be relevant to the post topic.

  • The owner of this blog reserves the right to edit or delete any comments submitted to the blog without notice.

The purpose of comments are to encourage the free exchange of ideas. Dissent is fine but please make your criticism constructive. Just saying you disagree with or don’t like something doesn’t help anyone. Why do you disagree? What is your rebuttal? Why don’t you like something? These are constructive comments that promote the exchange of ideas or encourage the writer to express themselves more clearly.

Two things form the bedrock of any open society — freedom of expression and rule of law. If you don’t have those things, you don’t have a free country
