Thank you for joining the conversation about Choices Under Fire.  Please feel free to agree, disagree, offer corrections or suggestions, as you see fit: your comments may be addressed to Michael Bess, or to other readers who have previously posted comments of their own.

As in any public forum of this sort, particularly one in which controversial issues are being discussed, we ask that you articulate your comments in a civil manner, treating the other participants with respect.  This will ensure that a tone of constructive dialogue is maintained, and that we can hopefully all learn from each other’s thoughts and contributions.  The site is open to all perspectives and opinions, but any postings of an uncivil nature will be removed by the Web site moderator.

The discussion is organized by chapters, with each chapter constituting a distinct thread.  Simply click on the appropriate link and follow the instructions to enter your comments.
