  “ I tend to think about the subjects that please me. This group shows me that there are whole countries of thought I have not even visited. Not only that, but they invite me in; I am not a tourist, but an honored guest of the natives. ”

I would recommend it to anyone who likes to hear views opposing to one's own and who wishes to meet people who are well read and enjoy dialogue and debate. ”
