OPINION Bret Thovson, Central Kitsap Published 4:39 p.m. PT June 20, 2019 “The Rule of One” states that for any single topic or event, only one perspective is permitted. This is the foundational principle of Liberalism. Liberals reason that if there are two or more topics or perspectives, then declaring a definitive position would be impossible. This is what I see behind Bainbridge Island City Councilman Ron Peltier’s single topic, “I Didn’t Reproduce Day” suggestion.
