I started The Understanding Project in 2010 in response to the increase in strife and hateful rhetoric I was seeing in the news and hearing from ordinary people I knew. I aimed to promote civility, compromise, pragmatism, unity, tolerance, education, and understanding. In 2013, I stopped writing mostly because I no longer had the time. I didn’t have the time to research every detail of every issue to know what people were talking about and I didn’t have time to keep checking for comments and carry on a conversation. Half the comments were from robots anyways. This is why I disabled comments. In 2016, I began writing a little bit, but I’m still not up to checking my responses all the time. I have too many other interests. I’m not really back. Below I link to some of my best posts from the blog likely to remain relevant through the ages. These will remain as a resource for those who wish to understand how others think about politics and to supplement some of the arguments I make in my book, The Nutcase Across The Street. If you wish, you can still read the full archives on the blog page.

Why I started The Understanding Project

Introduction
Why does labeling matter?

The blame game

Does burning the Koran incite violence?
Every time the government shuts down...

Know what you are talking about

What is trickle-down economics?
What is spiritual warfare?
Is carbon dioxide poisonous?

Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

Setting precedent for crimes in speech and thought...
When economic policies don't work...
Silly distractions from the real issues...
Everybody lies

How to reach out and get along

Think the best of others.
Speak the same language.

The real difference between left and right???

Communists and fascists???
Who is more violent?
Who is more racist?
Who is more obsessed with sex?
