welcome, one and all;

a few statements as to intention:

...to provide a forum for that supports and promotes discussion, debate, and oratorical discourse by encourging people across the spectrum of social opinion to interact through reasoned argument and discourse, enlightened thought, and co-operative consensus of tolerance.

...from which the dialogue here sets forth the thoughts, discussions, and discourses, as determined from reasoned argument, enlightened thought, and co-opearative consensus of tolerance.

...this will be the place to come for expression, diversity, and discourse on a wide assortment of topics and interests; life is not so tidy that everything comes in tidy litle packages. it happens all around us, seamlessly engaging one and all!

talkings about politics, religion, and other favorite taboos

herein begins tales regarding the what all that surrounds us daily, but with a definitive style of its own; not given to just invectives against an expected opponent, but seriouse offerings directed at concerns of the day, as well as freely expressed opinions.

no topic is sacrosanct, yet nothing is done to support intolerance, ignorance, nor self-serving aggrandizement; so that the topics can be expounded on, there is a website https://sites.google.com/site/soapboxdialogues/ 
devoted to more in-depth discussion of the same.

this will include the aforementioned broad topics, but also fashion, style, food and drink, relationships, and whatever else grabs the attention.

and now to the task at hand....
