You don't have to raise your voice to make a statement Peter Northup at 10:00 PM This is not a good week for thoughtful, reasoned conversation between Republicans and Democrats in Manhattan. But as I walked past the corner of Wall St. on my way home last night I saw something that I found genuinely moving: a self-proclaimed liberal was spending her day, not protesting with angry slogans, but sitting in front of an empty chair and a sign that invited conservatives to sit down and talk with her about the future of the country. One gentleman had taken her up on her offer, and they were having an earnest but civil discussion, as cops in riot gear milled around the financial landmarks nearby and the sky faded to purple. This campaign makes it easy to be cynical, but some seem to be resisting. Kudos to Ariana Jacob for bringing the spirit of public reason to the streets, and to David McLaughlin for taking up her offer of conversation. crescatsententia.org Link includes pictures
