The Ready Room
by The Ready Room
The Ready Room is an idea that started with two Marine Corps pilots lamenting the decline of civil discourse, and the ideological barricades with which so many have surrounded themselves. If only we could come out from behind our political fortresses and talk openly with one another and truly seek to open our minds to change, we could regain a shared civic trust.The challenge then, was to make that step personally, and in a way that would include others. Thus The Ready Room was launched. Our mission statement is simple, and I invite you to join us in this endeavor:We seek to gain strength and wisdom by examining and challenging our beliefs. To search for truth. To learn everything we can from those who know more than us. To engage in earnest discussion on topics great and small. To better ourselves, and bring others along for the ride. To further civil discourse. To explore the world, and in the process, build lasting friendships.
