THE CONVERSATION

This meeting place invites thoughtful dialog. It has been created as a forum to discuss ideas contributing to the preparation of a book. Readers are invited to engage with me and with one another, to critique the posts and chapter drafts offered here, to raise questions, point out problems, and articulate views. I ask that you adhere to the rules of engagement outlined below, so that we may join in a practical and inclusive exchange concerning the future of the United States, its meaning, destiny, and potential. You may call me Tom.

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

--Langston Hughes
