Welcome to my new blog, Thinking Things Through. What I hope to do here is to examine contentious political and social issues. Many blogs do this, but many are not particularly fair minded. Too many partisans ignore the points raised by their opponents and consequently “talk past” each other. Many base their arguments on assumptions which are not examined. But I believe intellectual honesty requires more. While I won’t be able to examine every issue I might want to examine, I can at least examine some and perhaps reach conclusions that I can find satisfactory. Maybe you can too!
