Coming off last week's important election day, What's New highlights a series of partisan debates:
Randomturtle wonders about our ideas of Liberalism and Conservatism and how intertwined they are with stages of development in:
Conservative and Liberal at many levels.
"So,

And finally, following up Ken and Stu's recent talk,
Fast, Furious, and Moving at the Speed of Thought. Part 2. Politics, Ecology, Energy, member Grant inquires as to what exactly is the Integral perspective on climate change in
Crichton's State of Fear vs. Gore's An Inconvenient Truth---so what is the integral response to climate change research?
