I want to explore, in as clear a
fashion as possible, what it means to be human and, in particular, what it
means to be an American human.
Okay, on the web and more
specifically in the blogosphere, discussing such heady and likely contentious
notions can be dicey indeed. I hope, however, to do so in as civil a manner as
possible. I also hope that people of differing views will participate in a
discussion of what it truly means to be human in America, so that we can
examine whom we really want to become in the 21st century.
Having said that, I’ve got to make
it clear that I have, not an agenda, but a set of evolved opinions on all the
areas of human experience: sociology, philosophy, religion, politics,
economics, history, science, education, and public policy. I intend to present
and continually re-examine those opinions, and I intend to do so in as animated
and colorful a way as I feel like. In other words, I’m not going to pull any
punches, while doing my best not to be a bully or a jerk.
If I do have an agenda, it’s to
discover and encourage the common humanity we share as Americans and gather
here at this site a set of resources that constitute a primer of sorts, so that
we can advance the cause, for the sake of the larger world, that a successful
nation can undertake.
Care to join me?
