I find that as I get older, I am getting increasingly bothered by more issues, both large and small. I started this particular blog, not necessarily to inform others of my (somewhat) incoherent rantings, but more to act as a tonic for my soul. While my wife is often interested in my opinions, she rightfully gets tired of endless opining about topics like the problem with our energy policy, or why I am annoyed by the pervasive media bias, or why people seem so uncritical in their analysis of anything science-related.
I hope to capture some weekly thoughts on my many annoyances. I hope in doing so, I can at least narrow my thoughts and present valid points, without seeming shrill. Certainly, one of my many pet peeves is the ranting by both right and left (Sean Hannity, Al Franken, Al Gore) where people don't even listen to counter arguments, but merely just call the other side names (albeit high-minded ones).
