Every time I read a news article anywhere, I usually end up forming an opinion. I judge the people in the news and based on the positions they take. But it's often very difficult for me to decide whether I'm judging the entity based on the action it takes or whether I judge the action based on the entity that took it. Am I equally critical of everyone's actions or am I more judgmental of some groups and more forgiving of others?
I'm creating this blog as an experiment. To see, as time goes by and as different actors I support and others I reject take different actions, how will my opinions differ over time? Would I find myself in a situation where I have to deny my previous opinions or are there certain fundamental unchanging principles that guide my judgment? I won't have an answer for that for the time being, but I hope I will eventually.
And in the likely event that this experiment fails to provide me with any insight on the matter, it's still a nice way to vent about issues about which no one in my close vicinity is willing to suffer a discussion with me...
