I am constantly being amazed at what an instrument of insight and wisdom and humour this JWD Forum is turning into.
In the rich and varigated tapestry of ideas presented here, from the urbane to the mundane, from the scholarly to the irreverant, from the thoughfull to the gratuitous we all are contributing to the forging of a voice of freedom that is reaching to the far corners of this globe. What we say here is impacting on the hearts and minds of countless people whom we will never meet in this life, yet it is instrumental in changing their lives forever.
A word, a turn of phrase, can alter a persons course to the better, and we will never know that we were responsible. Which is how it should be.
We are showing to the world of forced ideas, and locked minds, that debate is not disunity, and dissent is not evidence of disloyalty. Rather these are living and vibrant proof that a free people can think differently and still stand together.
Truth to tell, it gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.
Cheers
