The question about the focus of this list and now Karl's posting above,
suggests to me a very, very important function of this list that is closely
aligned with my values.

If we sight sources for information like '500 kids per hour,' and if we link
our political commentary to value declarations and faith statements, we'll
simultaneously ground and deepen a conversation that sometimes does stay
just ten feet off the planet and sometimes does reduce history to politics.
