News, current events, rants, raves and noise, from a fiercely independent, progressive perspective.

This is a page about sociopolitical issues, ideas and anything that I find thought-provoking, from a position outside of normal partisan constraints.  While I am pretty liberal on most issues, I don’t align with any particular political party.  

In fact, I don’t particularly like the idea of even having political parties to begin with.  I think far too often, adherence to a political brand impedes the flow of intellectual honesty and degrades discourse.  

I’m not trying to change anyone’s mind.  I just enjoy writing about what makes me think, and hopefully it will make you think too.
