Immoderately Moderate
You've got one political party

that defines 'opposition' as bullying the duly elected president with anything they can come up with. With examples like that; with anti-intellectualism being celebrated; with debate replaced by shouting matches, is it any wonder children are driven to the point of suicide? And the situation is only aggravated when parents have to work 2.5 jobs to pay for the family's needs: it means no-one is there when the child needs someone to talk to - or when his bulies need to be talked to.

The problem is NOT the parents. It's NOT even 'the system'. It's an entire culture gone wrong. (And I will not take those words back.)

Introduction
Immoderately Moderate aims to offer short essays and open letters to provoke debate. These short essays and open letters will generally be aimed at something or someone I wholeheartedly disagree with. The disagreement will likely be over the status quo, with yours truly finding it undesirable and suspecting someone or something to like the status quo too much.

It is useless to pontificate opinions, as progress can only be made through exchange of thoughts. Or so I believe. As such, my essays and open letters should not be taken as pontifications, but rather as invitations to debate.

Kind regards,

B.K.
