The beginning

As most of you may know I have been following politics and the news for years. Of my favorite pass times talking about politics rates up near the top. Though it holds a distant second place to spending time with my wife. So I have created a forum where I can discuss these issues while still being around her.

What I have found after moving to Chicago is that my life is by leaps and bounds better then any other time in my life. It is by far easier then my childhood with its shifting landscapes. The one thing that I have been lacking is a place to discuss the ideas that I have day to day about the political arena and issues that I feel have been sorely over looked.

The issues that interest me as of late are globalization, popular culture and its impact on politics, of course the economy and hopefully solutions to it. I am not saying I have the answers to any of these ideas just that this is a space for me to discuss them.

These Issues will of course change over time. With the things that I read and watch peaking my interests I will address them.

I hope that this blog starts conversations and discussions, and looking forward to hearing from everyone.
