		<description>Hi Barbara

&gt;What is your first reaction when you read an opposing viewpoint?

I like it.  I like to test my theories and assumptions and that&#039;s made possible by heading into the wind.

&gt;Are you apt to comment and have your say, or do you just leave
If I&#039;ve taken the time to read it, I&#039;ll likely take the few moments to reply to it. 

best wishes,
Rick

		<description>Hi Barbara,

The last two weeks (DNC, RNC) have really been apropos to your post!  I actually follow both conservative and liberal blogs, as well as being subscribed to both Obama&#039;s and McCain&#039;s email lists.  I *thrive* on listening to all sides of the issues to help me shape (or reaffirm) my beliefs.

		<description>Hi Alex,

3rd post? There must be a lot of us bloggers on the same wave length.  :)

Although I add blogs to my reader from authors who have differing viewpoints, I also need to feel some type of &quot;connection&quot;.  

Hi Evelyn,

The values of the blog author are important to me, too.  If their viewpoint differs, I don&#039;t mind, as long as they respect my response.  

Hi J.D.

When you do your review, please let me know so I can read it.  I have you in my reader, but I don&#039;t want to miss it.  Thanks.</description>
