Intended for "mature" audiences, "Glossarie" promotes free and frank exchange of well-informed views. Dedicated both to quality writing and reasonable objectivity, the writers and editors intend the pieces to provoke thought and discussion. We encourage comment, spirited debate, and well-written dissent. Although we don't like it, we we understand the First Amendment applies to people who disagree with us, too. We stand with Mark Twain, who, when asked about his own liberal use of profanity, replied, "The Good Lord only gave us so many words, and we might as well use 'em all."
