What can you expect from Wine & Politics? I suppose the name says it all. While I have had the opportunity to dabble in a number of different fields, becoming quite proficient in most of them, these are two that I particularly enjoy discussing. From this blog, you will pick up notes of statistics and behavioral economics before the palate is treated to critical analyses and insight on the workings of Congress and the Executive branch. The lingering finish will no doubt encourage you to raise your glass yet again in recognition of the great contributions that knowledge can offer to any debate.
Yes, I suppose that is what it boils down to - knowledge. I have my views, and I will use this spot to express them. But the greater good I can serve here is not to try to convince anyone my views are correct; rather, I want people to use knowledge to perform their own critical analysis of the topic du jour.
I have the inclination and motivation to scour prodigious volumes of information in search of the stuff that is truly important to understanding complex issues. By distilling that information (did you know that brandy is made by distilling wine?) for you the reader, I hope to make a positive contribution to the debate.
Finally, I hope that you and I disagree from time to time. If you consider the information I present and reach a different conclusion, you will help me prove that more than one sensible conclusion can be drawn from the same set of facts, and that an individual's experiences and principles form the framework for critical thinking.
Let's just all agree not to serve our Chardonnays straight from the refrigerator, okay?
