Plucked!

Being the political news junkie that I am, I've decided that it is time to break free from the self imposed limitation of blogs geared strictly towards educational purposes and enter the greater blogosphere cliche where I am either narcissistic enough to believe that people may happen upon and read my posts, or self indulgent enough not to give it a second thought. Essentially, I need a forum that allows more characters for my thoughts as Tweeting only makes room for creative headlining.

My political leanings are neither precisely right nor left of center. Personal responsibility and a strong connection to family and community are primary to my philosophical paradigm. My posts will trend towards an analysis through the lens of social psychology. It is my hope that the deconstructions I present will lead to a greater understanding of the benefits and tragedies of our various socio-economic systems.
