Why blog?

Friends and family know that I attempt to stay well-informed on the current political and economics happenings in the world, but I am dismayed by the lack of intellectual honesty and skepticism coming from the main stream media. Issues are conflated and important questions are never asked. My opinions are radical and my suggestions pragmatic. My goal is to start an intellectual community, through my blog, where people are unafraid to ask important questions even if they are politically incorrect. I will also comment on anything else that interests me. This is a critical time in world and American history, and I believe that I have some interesting thoughts to share. Comments are extremely welcome. Enjoy.
