I suggest it is much better if many thoughtful people find quality blogs and contribute, thus keeping some critical mass.

One of the big problems facing us is that those of us in social policy areas haven't really glommed on yet that, if we have issues and problems in relatively good fiscal and social times (emphasis on the "relatively"), those issues and problems will be magnified enormously by global warming and its related energy and water problems. We're all so silo-ed in our individual concerns right now that we haven't started seeing the interconnections. I'm hoping that my readers, concerned with how we're going to continue to pay for prison beds while maintaining public safety, will see how the resources and energies diverted by warming will affect what we do. They need to start taking it all very seriously and to be informed by someone who cuts through the bushwah effectively so they don't get diverted or confused. Your blog is a great site for that, and I appreciate the effort you make to keep it daily and entertaining at the same time. Corrections and sentencing policies aren't renowned for their attention to the future and costs, but the more of our people we get reading what you post, the less we can claim ignorance. Well, at least get away with it. Thanks for the good work. I recommended you to my readers not just because you have the info they need but also because you have the approach that’s needed as well.
