The purpose of my blog is to make people see things in a new light; I want to make people think.  My goal is to get people to consider things in ways they might not have before -- to think outside the box.

I don't expect people to always end up agreeing with me, far from it.  It is enough to expose people to unconventional ways of thinking about things and to have them entertain such thoughts, regardless of the conclusions they ultimately draw.
