I had a chance to talk with Academy Award-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss Thursday during the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington about politics and civility.

Dreyfuss told me he was at CPAC to learn -- not because he is a conservative. "I'm not a member [of the conservative movement], but I have some conservative in me," he said.

Last month, Politics Daily Editor in Chief Melinda Henneberger reported on Dreyfuss' talk to the National Press Club on a similar topic.

"If your politics haven't changed in 25 years, you should go into therapy," he said, "because life does that to you. But for this country, which represents the greatest political miracle in history, we have to act better."

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
