The Rules.

The rules are as follows:
1. For each post, a topic will be chosen. The topics will be varied, and may involve a political issue, movie, social event, or virtually anything else that might strike up a conversation.
2. Posts will be anonymous, since one of us might want to run for office one day.
3. We won't talk about the issue on which we are posting nor see each other's posts until we are both done. That way, the opinions will be solely those of the writer.
5. Posts will be clearly identified as "Mom's view" and "Son's view".
6. We can respond to the other person's post after it's been written as much as we want, via a responsive post.
Mom's predictions for the blog are this: First, I think my son's posts will become better and more thoughtful over time. I'm not sure how long he'll last, though, so it may very well be that this project is shortlived. I hope not, because I think that if we stick with it, we'll learn quite a lot about each other.
