Toward Ecosophy

Over the last few weeks there's been a running discussion over on the comments page of the blog about the pros and cons of vaccination. I've been pleased to see the participants keeping their tempers and continuing to discuss the matter in a civil fashion -- all the more as this is one of the real hot-button topics these days, and sees a lot of inflammatory rhetoric on both sides. At the same time, it's gotten a little intrusive over there, and a very long distance off topic. 

I've therefore decided to ask everyone involved in that discussion, or interested in following it, to move the conversation here. The same rules apply: no flaming, no trolling, no personal insults, and I'll be moderating each comment before it appears to guarantee that these rules are followed. Fair enough? Have at it. -- JMG
