Credit Contraction Thoughts (and a question for you)

Dr. Heidi's blog is unusual--and great. Her political views are strong, but she doesn't resort to rhetoric. She's not religious, but she doesn't demean the believer. She crusades against the Jehovah’s Witnesses, but she is amazingly patient in her responses to their comments--working with people at their level and trying to honestly respond to their questions. She shares her life with us and doesn't make a big deal about being smarter than the rest of us.
