An Explanation

I wanted to make a quick note and reiterate the whole purpose of these post. I want to crystallize how I feel about things in our world. I believe the only way to do that is to write them out and get feedback from others. I want people to pick holes in my arguments. I implore you to tell me when you think I am wrong. I beg of you to tell me when I am being emotional and intellectually dishonest. This will force me to think about what I have said and decide as to whether I need to rethink my opinions or are they truly how I feel.

My goal is to utilize this to build a platform of ideas for future usage. However, I am open to the idea that this may simply be a documentation of a personal journey. With that in mind I ask all of you that may disagree with me to keep reading and please comment on what I write. I give any feedback I get the same weight I would ask that you give my posts. Please do not shut me off just because you disagree with what I have written or think I am parroting "talking points". I'm not, please believe me in that. Just know that your efforts are not in vain at the least, you are making me think. I believe that thinking and listening are concepts sorely lacking in today's world. Hopefully this will be our little corner where those concepts are utilized and encouraged.
