Responsible scholarship

John Mark Ramseyer took an intellectual wrong turn. The badness did not happen by error but by "endless labor to be wrong." The departure from what is true, right, proper, just and reasonable sacrificed integrity. He wrote as though he owned the dark subject in question and he gave biased arguments and dark answers.

Afghanistan peace negotiations move forward

Serious, sensitive, tangled negotiations aimed at bringing peace to Afghanistan have now reached and surpassed the six-month mark. Many knowledgeable people are surprised, in some cases amazed, that these talks have taken place at all.
