I've come across an intersting attempt at a new blog by some academics, Left2Right. It has the somewhat didactic subtitle "How can the Left get through to the Right?", but there is still hope that it might turn into more of a conversation and less an intellectual crusade.
But, of course, lots of people are not comfortable with the "two way street" character of real conversation between people of goodwill. In such a situation one will find that they are influenced just as much as they influence. People who are already convinced of their moral superiority hate that.
It will be fun to see what happens.
(Of course all of this begs the question: Why did they have to start a blog to do this? Why not just engage with their conservative collegues? Oh....I forgot.)
