This morning I woke up and was reluctant to read what I wrote last night, fearing it said something different than I intended. Thankfully, it seems consistent with my thoughts, which is never assured and always a relief.

I did modify the paragraph about my neighborhood because it was unclear. Misunderstandings are at the heart of most of the political discussions I’ve read. Often people are trying to say the same things but imprecise language and preconceptions usually lead to circular shouting matches around misaligned ideas.
