As many of you who read my blog know, Alan, an old friend of mine from Sacramento, has a blog that he encourages those of us with differing world views to read (recently re-branded as The California Conservative).
Though I haven’t engaged in direct dialogue as much with him lately, Jen has certainly risen to the challenge. There’s some pretty intense debate in this post (be sure to read all the comments) on everything from Scott Peterson (Alan’s support of the death penalty, though not soon enough for Peterson) to tax cuts (Alan doesn’t believe that the Bush tax cuts benefit the wealthy any more than they benefit him) to religion (as Jen points out, would Jesus really have supported the death penalty, seeing what happened to him?) to the environment (sorry, Alan, but I grew up in Sacramento, too, and you can’t determine whether a city is polluted or not by how blue the skies are).
