So we've been asked why we are here. For me, the answer is easy: I'm humbled by the aptitude, passion, and creativity of the group. Creative people with strong opinions are reason enough for me. No one knows what will come of the project, but I think on that basis alone it aims to fill a space that needs filling.
To be sure, the world -- the Internet! -- is not short on commentary, but there is a paucity of collaborative, diverse commentary. CNN's self-proclaimed "best news team on television" doesn't do it for me. This project isn't staged to create predictable, talking-point conflagration à la Hannity and Combs, nor are we here because we already agree. I think of it as an unscripted conversation -- which, aside from being far more enjoyable and enlightening, is somehow unique, even on the web.
As a note for this personal blog, I hope to use it in part to continue the main-page discussion and in part for general current-event analysis or otherwise interesting-to-me thoughts.
Anyway, these are exciting times and there are important things to understand. I look forward to what follows.
