Our New World

It's a strange world we live in. A date might change but a time and again we see the same thing happening. Even if the theme stays the same the players change, new faces playing old tunes.

There is a bit of fortune cookie wisdom that states that in order to perceive one state you must understand the opposite state. This would apply to our theme here. In order to understand what is happening now, we must understand what happened. In order to understand our present world I will look at it through the lens of history.

The title of this blog is "Our Brave New World". This refers to the world that we build. The difficulties of the last few years have begun to illuminate the deficiencies of the present system. We can either move forward and build a more fair society or we can stay the course and watch as we grow more divided and eventually watch our society crumble. Societies change over time, the key to this is to see how they change, and it how it can beneficial to all.

I won't lie, I have a plethora of opinions. If you choose to read this blog you will be subjected to them. I arrive at my ideas after long and careful observation of the world around me. As a reader you're free to disagree, all I ask is that it is a measured and reasoned response to what I say. My previous endeavors have often gotten bogged down by people who refuse to address issues.

And finally I'll be looking for other writers who wish to contribute ideas from time to time. For as many pointless discussions I've had recently I've found several people with truly interesting points of view.
