I have noticed that though our Business authors come from various backgrounds and reflect a great diversity of political and social views, our Currents authors are almost all left-leaning individuals. Nothing wrong with that, but should we not also publish books that are a bit more conservative and reflective of the larger number of viewpoints in our nation? 

If we truly want a nation that works for all, do we not owe it to ourselves and our readership to publish books that reflect a wider variety of viewpoints? Or would such an initiative destroy the market niche and readership BK has commandeered as an independent, liberal publisher?

I'm not saying we go and sign Glenn Beck and Ann Coulter, but...?
