What if they gave a Reformation ...

Imagine if I had been Luther and Rick had been Pope Leo X (or the other way around).  We would have ended up getting together for beers somewhere in Switzerland, and the whole Reformation would have had to be called off.

I appreciate Rick's comments about fairness and moderation, because he consistently displays those qualities too (even when he shows up on National Review Online!).  I must admit, though, that then another voice keeps chiding me that it's only the wild, anti-moderate people -- of whom Luther surely was a prime specimen -- who change the world.
