About

Words and Comments is an occasional journal of thoughts and opinion on matters of interest and concern.

We provide commentary and opinion on news, current affairs and all other matters that are unfolding. Being fearless and brave in the upholding of truth is one aspect of our editorial policy. Being willing to confront the essence of any given issue is another. It is, in short, a website for anyone interested in opinions. But it is not enough to be able to express an opinion; one must also be prepared to share it, subject it to scrutiny and so on.

Signed articles represent the views of the contributors. They are not necessarily endorsed by the editorial team or the owners of this blog. We welcome all forms of contributions from our readers, including comments on individual posts. Original material may be submitted with view to publication as blog posts. Please e-mail your sumbissions to editor@wordsandcomments.com.

We reserve the right to edit, decline or refuse any material we receive.
