Our Mantra
From original notion to final refinement,
We strive for ideas that bring great enlightenment.
From finance to fishing rights, technology to trade,
We invite you to join us as we debate in spades.
No whispers or conjecture in attempt to conspire,
For it is facts and not fiction we seek and desire.
Do not be mistaken for we seek not salvation,
Just lively debate and an occasional libation.
So, no topic too big, no topic too small,
Just be respectful at The Sunken Parlour.
Our Minds
George Van Smoot, Esq.
Editor-at-Large
Lord Van Smoot is a self-styled, avant-garde critique of today's political and societal trappings plaguing the world. His opinion is derived from decades of personal observation, grand-standing, and overt-soap-boxing. He employs a strategy of consuming and digesting information, socializing interpretations, and extolling his wisdom for all. Lord Van Smoot does not toil for self-aggrandizement, but to see his ideas unleashed upon the world.
Theodore Westside, Esq.
Editor-at-Large
There are times in life when one ought to reflect on their contributions and their value to society. Lord Westside has had his moment. Regarded by some as a political prodigy of his time, his journeys across the frontier have provided him the opportunity to learn from the people and hear their voices. Lord Westside succeeds in blurring the social, economic, and cultural classes that divided us. His voice brings wisdom to all and sets us on a path towards enlightenment. His pontifications are not for the sake of preaching, but to supply hope to those that hear him.
