Introduction

I've been mulling over creating this blog-I care deeply about social justice issues, but tend not to post too often to my personal page because to be honest, most people tend to be pretty entrenched, and I don't wish to alienate friends on issues I am probably not going to change their mind on. As I read the posts (especially on tumblr), by people at the far ends of the spectrum, two things become clear:

People on both ends of the spectrum frequently do not understand what their "opposite number" ACTUALLY believes, and;

People on both ends of the spectrum frequently do not realize that there are many, many people who fall in the middle, and may be making decisions about which end to favour based on what they are saying.

So what I'd like to do is a series of "Multiple Views" on a variety of contentious topics, with people who hold all level of views on that topic answering questions such as "How did you come to this viewpoint?" "What about this issue frightens you?" "What do you most want people who believe differently to know about you?" (And others that might be suggested).

I feel like the state of social activism on the internet is quite sad. I know one person can do so little, bit I'd like to try. Will you join me?

Later in the week I'll be posting a few topics, with a list of questions and how to submit content for a topic.In the meantime, be excellent to each other!
