Why Read this Blog?

The question as to why to read or contribute this blog as opposed to any other is one of the most basic of questions possible. It is also one of the easiest to answer: We plan to enlighten with facts and reasoned thoughts on any number of subjects; we will not simply point fingers or insult those with whom we disagree.  If facts or reason seem to be lacking then there is a problem and it must be resolved – just like in the real world.
