This blog is an identity construction project, meaning it will provide information which allows people to change how they identify with their world. I will attempt to evaluate current news stories and suggest alternative interpretations which remove constricting lenses leaving behind unconstrained views. The blog will span the spectrum from personal experiences with individuals to international news stories. Looking at intra-class experiences with Seattle's homeless to alternate explanations of US actions such as protecting Americans by shooting down a failing weather satellite.
I hope that this blog will provide me an opportunity to organize my thoughts and clarify my understanding of what is lacking in the daily cable news circuit. Cable news has the unfortunate effect of being biased. Usually, it has the bias of American media, conforming to American ideals, such as fighting for freedom, democracy, the working class. I think in the same way, my life has been biased by the relatively narrow selection of ideas that I've been exposed to. This blog is an attempt to step out.
