Commencement

Welcome to my blog.  In this space we will discuss many topics but a majority of posts will focus on politics and economics.  My main motivation for starting this blog is to provide a forum for people to share their ideas as well as discuss current events of social, economic, and political importance.  I believe part of the reason politics is a taboo subject in our society is because many individuals do not feel safe sharing their opinions and people have difficulty keeping a debate from dissolving into an argument.  Debate is welcome, but please keep dialogue civil and relevant to the topics at hand.  Thank you for visiting - I hope you will return to view and respond to subsequent posts.
