Thomas Paine's Common Sense was written plainly for the Average Joe and was instantly popular (knock on wood for our own little blog). While we have no problem with Thomas Paine (we love Thomas Paine), we hope that perhaps this blog can serve as a home to ideas that are a little less popular. We think that unpopular ideas are OK -- in fact, they're important. Because even though we live in a culture that's combative and absolutist when it comes to the hard topics, those unpopular opinions could very well be the start of the next heliocentric theory, and wouldn't you just love to be the guy who could say, "y'know what, I gave Copernicus' crazy idea a shot before anyone else!"
