We continue to encourage writers to write in to The Voice, both Reader’s Commentaries and letters to the editor. We seek a dialogue in essence, every week.
In spite of some persons thinking so, nobody has all the answers, and we receive benefits from articles, commentaries, and dialogues in periodicals and journals.
Reading the commentaries is valuable, and exposure to other idea forms a pool from which to draw. Shared thoughts and shared ideas are beneficial to us.
Nearly everything is involved, from political references, religion, social fabric, and everyday experiences. Something so noble as in a larger sense is at stake.
