i hope you like Harpers, i should have mentioned that it's fairly critical of the current administration at times. but i think it's possible to learn about things in light of differing opinions. i used to get Forbes too (a freebie subscription) which provided a pro-business perspective on issues...nice to have a good balance.

Regarding Harper's.. I read the opening article and was curious if it is a strongly liberal magazine, or just one that is critical of the current government, regardless of whether that government be republican or democratic?
If it is strongly liberal-biased, I'm curious if there is a similiar magazine (same type) but with a heavy conservative bias? I like to read/be exposed to opinions and articles from both sides of contemporary issues, so that I don't suffer from tunnel vision and unjust bias.
I've only read that initial article just now, and I enjoyed it. It was very refreshing and touched on an issue I was thinking about myself recently - what we as citizens can and can't get away with saying regarding our government/leader.
Looking forward to reading the rest.. Seems like a very intelligent and well written periodical.
