The problem with conservative echo chambers

Hearing is impaired if you only listen to yourself.

Back in the day when magazines used to come in the mail, I subscribed to only three: Reader's Digest, the Utne Reader, and Reason, on the theory that between the three of them I'd get something resembling a balanced view of what was really going on. It worked pretty well, too. I've got a lot more choice today, of course, but really do try to make sure I read varying points of view, even ones I disagree with rather stridently.

Separate spaces such as A Conservative Cafe in Indiana lead us further from a united America.
