Stuff happens to me (and I'm there for some of it).I connect people with ideas. Or ideas with people.
Once in a while, just for giggles, I connect ideas with other ideas, or people with people. Actually, that last bit is pretty cool.
This space is kinda for my "scratchpad," quick thoughts that don't really have another place to live.
More developed thoughts wind up at my blog

Here’s the thing. If you write a book called God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything, you sell a lot of books. If you write a book called What’s So Great About Christianity on the evils of atheism, you also sell a lot of books. If you say that neither extremist viewpoint makes any sense, you end up doing a podcast and working as a greeter at Wal-Mart directing customers to the section where they sell Hitchens and D’Souza books. The truth is less incisive, it’s less inflammatory, it raises no ire, and it draws no audience.
