First Post/Introduction

Howdy all,

This is my new blog (obviously). Mostly I've created this to give me a place to post my thoughts on politics, philosophy, and maybe even some stuff on food. Hopefully the posts will be thought-provoking, and I will try to include a variety of concerns when I discuss something - to "paint a picture" of what is going on, so to speak. The general idea is that the more people consider and think about what is going on... the more confused they should be, because life is genuinely complicated and there are shades of gray.

I welcome comments, so long as they remain respectful and no one starts any flame-wars. The whole point of blogs is to get a genuine discussion started, after all. In any case, I hope you enjoy.

-Sean
