Welcome to our Guest Page. Here we reprint
sample writings of a large variety of people engaged in contemporary political thought.
Whenever possible, we will give you links to their homepages or e-mail addresses. We
strive to print all sides of an issue and therefore the writers featured here do not
necessarily belong to, or even endorse our group. Come back often, as the documents
provided here are constantly changing. If you wish to comment (either agree or disagree)
with anything you read here, you are welcome to e-mail us your ideas - maybe you will see
your thoughts featured here one day! Editorials are listed with the most recent at the
top.
