From the Steps of the Rostra

In the words of Pericles, "all good things should flow into the boulevard."

As I believe in the majority of my opinions, I feel that to have an open, but not overwhelming venue of a public forum would be beneficial to me and all those involved. Having said that, I've tried to create a blog before, but abandoned it due to lack of sufficient interest. I've always felt "who the hell cares about my opinion anyway," but this time I come into it with broader intentions. And that is to give those who desire it the occasion to find out more about me. With this in mind, know that I will not be striving to be conciliatory, politically correct, or what I would otherwise consider "less than". I will however endeavor to be consistently witty, but to treat serious matters with the proper respect.

I wish this to be a public forum and hope that my opinions will spark creativity and impassioned debate. I also reserve the right to throw off of the Tarpeian Rock, anyone I see fit. This will not be a diary, per se. I find the day to day occurrences of the human experience a matter for the plebs, and having no place in the work of scholarship.

Now the stage is set. Let the players to their positions.
