Progress

   What's the difference between a milepost and a milestone? Both are used as a measure of progress, usually as a metaphor for human behavior. But their origin was in the days of marking distances on roads. The only difference being that of the materials used: A "post" was often made of wood, and a "milestone" was just that -- made of stone.

   And with that, the Editor's Revenge blog (and its companion blogsite, http://jtharding.blogspot.com) marks its growth by noting that we now have reached readers in 50 countries.

   We thank all viewers, and hope you will pass the word to friends. As always, the goal is not to persuade, but to prompt thought. If by thinking things over you are confirmed in your beliefs, even when contrary to others, that's great.

   Problems and conflicts are brought on when the few try to force their beliefs on the many.

   As always, our guiding slogan is, "Belief without thought endangers freedom."
