Do unto others as you would have others do to you. Let me turn that around and say if I felt strongly enough to ask others to read something at my behest, I would give them an idea as to why I should read it and not cloak it in "read it because I said you should". .

The others have a point, although I might not state it as strongly. That point is more a question> Why should they read something just because you think they should? Were you to be a regular poster they (and I) might be more willing, but they, and for now I, aare unwilling to do so just because you, as a fair weather "drive by" poster, say we should. Its not about sticking my head in the sand, its more that you need to convince me that I should bother.

You've claimed, or at least insinuated in the past that you are really of a conservative mindset and are just trying to get us to see the errors in our ways. If that is your intent then you really have a strange way of attempting to do that.

I will read the article if you can convince me why I should. What is your take on it? What are you trying to have us take from it?

That's the last I'll say about this subject until such time that you can convince me to read the article.
