In the Beginning...

Welcome, and thanks for taking the time to visit this page. I hope you like what you read (and maybe even bookmark the page). I started this blog a year ago but never got around to actually using it. After reading countless blogs of professors, lawyers, philosophers, and other people smarter than me, I realized that blogging could be a great way to discuss topics that I care about and about which others might care as well. The purpose of this site is to challege readers to think critically about interesting and important issues that they might not have previously given much thought to, and maybe even help people figure out what they might be passionate about. I can't give an outline of topics that will be covered, although you will probably see posts on recent news, legal issues, science and technology, philosophy and religion, and anything else I happen to find interesting. Please, please, please comment on posts with your own opinions, questions, or criticism (you can even do so anonymously), because comments are half the fun of reading a news article or blog! And feel free to email me with suggestions about the site as a whole. I don't know how regularly I'll update, but I can promise that as long as there are visitors, I will continue writing. Thanks again, and happy reading!
