1. Clearing up Any Preconceived Notions First and foremost, before explaining what this group is about, let me be clear that this group has nothing whatsoever to do with fortune-telling or any other mystical use of Tarot cards for divination, path-working, magic, etc. We use a modern version of the Tarot deck in an activity for which Tarot cards were originally invented, playing a trick-taking card game. This is a fact of which few people in America are aware. It is never discussed in our school …

Do you favor the secular ideals of fairness, justice, liberty, and equality? Would you like to see reason and pragmatism used in our governance, instead of blind ideology and appeals to emotion? It is often said that "reality has a liberal bias". Debate in this nation has become increasingly noxious, mostly due to the stubborn irrationality of our society's more "regressive" elements. People of a more politically open-minded inclination often find themselves to be needlessly on the defensive.. …
