(well, they're not all here yet, but I'm working on it) Where they were chosen for publication I've linked to the printed letter, and where applicable I've included links to the article or letter that prompted each one. The text here will be my original version, even if the paper edited it for printing. My motivation for writing is not to tell readers how to think, but to inspire them to think about the issue at hand, to educate themselves and decide for themselves. I certainly don't expect unequivocal agreement with everything I've written here from every visitor - so let me know what you think! You can email me (jason[at]trippet.net) or visit my blog to leave comments.
