Do you like to discuss issues of concern to you and others, whether they be moral issues, social issues, current events, or a combination of all three? I would like to begin a 'Socrates Cafe'.

If you'd still like to get into friendly political debates, here's the best up-and-coming debate meetup in the DC Metro Area: http://www.meetup.com/america
