Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn

Katrina vanden Heuvel calls for electoral reform
Just Democracy from Katrina vanden Heuvel in The Nation shares a grand vision for reforming our electoral systems. This is a long piece and I simply can't pull portions as all stand as exceptional. Her Dictionary of Republicanisms: The Indispensable Guide to What They Really Mean When They Say What They Think You Want to Hear has long been on my wish list. She's sharp in her writing plus her appearances in the media. Progressives will need these and other reforms to accomplish long overdue change. John Gunn
