Purpose of this blog

I am starting this blog as an outlet for critical views relating to social justice, politics, and current affairs. I do not expect to be propounding any of my own opinions outside of a review context, for example of an online article or video that I come across or to which I am referred by friends. My guiding philosophy here is very much in line with Francis Bacon's advice on studies:
Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. (source)
Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. (source)
