Moderation isn't an end point, or even a center point,
necessarily. Rather than a template, it is an approach,
a tone, a cock of the head, an open mind, a willing ear,
an unjaundiced eye. A moderate wonders what other facts
might be brought to bear. A moderate figures we're in
this together and believes that a meeting of the minds
is not tantamount to surrender.
