A Perfect Conversation
Group founded by Gabriel D
A group to republish diaries that I hope:
a. challenge the DK conventional wisdom;
b. provide information which may lead to new ideas;
c. push for action that is innovative or not just playing defense;
I do not always agree with the diaries I republish, but the point here is not about agreement. It's about challenging ourselves to rethink our political philosophies, activities, and issue positions. Perhaps we'll come back to the same conclusions we already have but with a better understanding of why we have them. Other times, we may decide to change our positions.
The group name comes from the first line in the song Cool James by Harvey Danger. "Can I have this: a perfect conversation?" (I've also read lyrics sites that claim it's "Cannot have this: a perfect conversation." I think the ambiguity between these transcriptions suits the group given it's purpose.)
