I
imagine no one will read this, but it seems inappropriate somehow to
start keeping a blog without some sort of introductory post, so here
goes. I’m Ajay Ravichandran, and I’m a recent college graduate who’ll be
starting law school in the fall; my co-blogger, Josh, who’ll hopefully
introduce himself shortly, is a good friend from college. We decided to
start this blog because we both realized that we spend a remarkably
large amount of time reading political blogs and other commentary, and
it seemed kind of silly to devote so much attention to politics without
having some sort of public platform to comment from.
My
posts will cover a range of topics related to American politics and
current events broadly defined, but some areas of particular interest
for me are civil liberties/counter-terrorism/national security issues,
economic policy, and various questions related to the relationship
between individualism and community. I majored in philosophy in college
and have some interest in pursuing a philosophy PhD eventually, so I’ll
probably delve into the philosophical implications of these matters
somewhat more than is common. I may also post on more purely
philosophical issues in moral and political philosophy and religious
matters, and plan to occasionally write book or movie reviews as well.
I
think I’ve spent enough space navel-gazing for now, so rather than try
to explain why you should care what two twenty-somethings with very
little relevant experience or credentials think about anything, I’ll let
future posts speak for themselves. I hope you stick around!
We plan to stick around. Julie &
